Yes, that's how mine looks, except mine tends to stick out more. I just wanted to make sure nothing broke off that otherwise was holding the nozzle in place. Looks like that's the way it was made.

All 3 of the VA recently released pumpers are simply OUTSTANDING. The fact that I live a couple of miles from that Annandale station is pretty cool too.

Side note.....bought both from Bill at Past Time Hobbies. Just a GREAT guy to deal with which is why I continue to buy from him. Held my order (at my request) until the Annandale truck arrived. Didn't double the shipping charge. AND gives excellent customer service!

I agree about Past Time. I just bought the Fairfax County rig a few weeks ago from him and had no troubles.

Yes, it's always a bonus when Code 3 does rigs that are close to where you live. The Wood River ALF that Code 3 did a few years ago is in my collection simply because it's in the St. Louis area, where I live.

From where I am in the UK, I would say that the Buffalo rig is the nearest one to me, that code 3 has produced.

Pete, is that flying over the polar ice cap?

John A, My Annandale booster is the same way and I don't see why a drop of ACC on the nozzle wouldn't hold it down on the side.
