Wow thats nice Graham!!!!  Thats up there with the best of the AC500's anyway, one of the nicest to date  I wonder why Conrad never put door mirrors on this crane after all these years?

Wow that looks great, to be honest I think this looks much nicer than the Hallamore version which just seems too plain to me. That arrived very quickly graham, you must be the first person in Europe to get it ya lucky bugger!  You'll have to post a new ac500 family portrait soon, how many is that you have now? Oh and i'm not sure you'll think this one is the nicest when your next one finally arrives!

Well I have to say that I am certainly glad I ordered one now. Looks great!
Noel's question now has me thinking - how many and what liveries have been done in the AC500-1 and AC500-2? Ones I'm aware of:
AC500-1
Mammoet
Franz Bracht
Schmidbauer??
AC500-2
Felbermayr
McNallys
Wiesbauer
Sarens
ALL
Hallamore
Prangl

Terex Demag ac500-1ssl
Terex ac500-1ssl (not sure if the Demag name was dropped in the -1ssl though)
Terex ac500-2ssl
Then there are version I have seen,maybe not authentic conrad releases,
B&W
that Wittrock one,
and I have seen a Colonia one in an Asian shop too,looked sweet but is almost as much as the real deal

B&W one I think was a custom, but could be wrong. Wittrock may have been a Conrad release as I do remember seeing it now you mention it but have not seen the Colonia one.

The Schmidbauer is an AC500-2 ssl, unless there was also an AC500-1 sl produced. A pic of my Schmiddy AC500-2 ssl

Nice "adiction" Graham. Just ordered mine yesterday. What I don't still understand, is why conrad keeps using those odd screws as outriggers.

Hi Gregor, Thanks for the list,must have taken a while to find all the versions,I never knew of the -1 SL Schmidbauer, Its a great model I think and still has a few years left and many more liveries too,do you know when it first came out,I think its over 10 years old now,makes you wonder that it can still sell 10 or more years on  Graham

Great stuff Gregor, its nice to know the full list and especially the quantities of each that were made. I wish all model manufacturers would announce clearly the total quantity of each model they release, just for the collectors information. The one ac500 I still really want to see made is Wagenborg Nedlift. We need a big wagenborg crane to accompany all the trucks that have been released in the past few years.

Box on the back clips on nice and handy Gus,unclip to your delight to reveal a 5th wheel I can't wait to see what other versions come down the road,so glad she came as a rear steer as I know of a certain few blue ones lurking about Europe
