while allowing it to fit under the original 4404 body (which IS beautiful).

ladder chassis with proper live axles front and rear and a central transfer
gearbox and so on, and as John said, this would be a great challenge to recreate
on the Lego model. Shop at Home lists it at about 45 UKP, which is quite a lot
after just buying 8455!
