After buying and building about 15 technic kits I'm starting to run out of
kits I don't have.  (Yes, I know there are a bunch of new ones coming or
already here, but $$$ is becoming an obstacle.)  So I started building the
alternative models with parts that I had without necessarily taking apart the
main model.  I've had pretty good success (I now only have about 1/2 of my
models still together).  So I'm thinking of building 8868 from the instruction
scans.  Is this feasible?  I may have to buy some pneumatic parts (I have the
tow truck).  Has anyone done this before?  Any pitfalls I should avoid?

Thanks...

(...) You need a small pneumatic cylinder and one compressor, also you need an extra pneumatic switch. Plus the tubing already meantioned. The tires seems to be pretty large but I'm sure the tow trucks or some other models wheels should work just (...) (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
