Here are some pictures of the model of the Acco Grader from Italy. This was a very unique grader to build . Kevin Anderson really likes models of the largest machines in the world. So when I mentioned I was building this monster grader, he said he had to have it in his collection. So it is now in Denver in his Rocky Mountain High Biggest Machines Museum. (:>).

What a monster, I've seen pictures of the real machine but would love to see here in real life. Have you thought, or have built the ACCO bulldozer, now that is a beast. Two D10 engines side by side under the hood. Love the model unbelivable detail. Applause Applause

Here is another angle of the Acco on my workbench without the 33foot blade assembly.

Anyone wanting to see the Acco machines a little better , I have videos of both of them in the video section on my webpage. The videos give a nicer understanding of how the models look.

Kevin Anderson from Denver, Colo. heard I was making a model of the worlds largest Dozer and he said he would very much like to have it in his collection of worlds largest machines. So Kevin really wanted the Acco Dozer and the Acco grader as a pair knowing I will never build another one of either of them.

I get a lot of visitors to my page from Italy and they loved seeing these two models being built. One fellow just lives a few miles from them and he sent me pictures of him climbing all over them. Very Cool !!
