looks great!! wonder have they sorted out that "possessed" rear axle Pray Pray Pray

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Nice looking model. The coalblade looks pretty good, too.
But I still don´t like the way the lift-cylinders are connected to the main front frame.

you have a point there,,,but I took into consideration where it is a large piece of equipment, it needed larger beacons to be seen better... thats my idea about it...

I think the reason they look as large as they do is due to the fact that the bases are the same colour as the lens. If you were to paint the bases black, they would look much more to scale I think.
