3406E and Paul R, Many thanks from Denis for your interest in this topic. The Demag body is being lifted:   An independent hydraulic pack is linked to the Demag tracks, allowing the remaining part of the shovel to move:  To be continued. Guy

I just now noticed that the tracks on the Demag are rubber. That goes to show how much of an impact a good weathering job can have on a model.

Oui la qualité de la patine rend la scène très réelle. Non elle ne va pas être repeinte, elle va rester comme ça. Avez-vous noter la qualité et la finesse de la découpe, le contrepoids et la tourelle sont d'un seul tenant sur la miniature. Denis a utilisé un disque très fin et un Dremel pour séparer les éléments.

Pascal, I did not notice that. He did just a fine job that I assumed that was how the model came apart.

The model before, picture I made in April 2019. It was new in the collection and Denis just told me to do not share it on the french forum or on other place. Now I can.
