Great pics. It looks like there's still paint on the 1:1 crawler pads. Nice project too. TFS

Indeed looks very promising. I also like these colors. That'll make a very special one. Wink

Excellent project and livery Applause

For all the cranes I have seen in real life I'm still waiting to see the CC8800 Pray

Scania V8. The best sounding truck in the world.

Nice and carefully put together colourwise Smiley

I suppose it's not allways possible to keep the white and red alternating with every boom length?
Leave out one 6m section and you already have a "problem"...
and one other thing I learned only recently, is that although the boom sections all have the same size, they come in different weights (strengths) for lower and upper part of the boom.

Yeah, if you look in the first couple of photos 96m boom, you will see 2 red section together, but now we have all the heavy sections in first followed by the lighter walled ones.

Going to start on the counterweights on the tray painting them black as well as setting up a super lift tray and stinger.
