Very nice i did not take them out of the boxes yet hopefully tonight small bit of rub damage on one of them thats a pity the other loose bits can be easily attached with some citadel super glue, if they could only get the quality control as good as their models. regards gus.

Hello all, been awhile since I added anything to this thread, new models have been scarce for the last few months. I had a nice package day today with 2 new cranes for my wiesbauer fleet, the ac100 from conrad and ltm1050 from WSI. Here's a few pics.. Wiesbauer ac100: probably the nicest version conrad have made after the kavanagh one.. Wiesbauer LTM1050: I wasn't gonna get this as wiesbauers real crane is different and it annoys me that so many models are appearing when companies dont actually own this version, but I thought it'd be a nice addition to the fleet so I settled for the compromise in details this time.. Here's a few shots of the Wiesbauer fleet as it stands now, from top of picture down.. Volvo FH16 + 4 axle lowloader, Liebherr LG1550, Terex Demag ac200, Grove GMK 5095, Grove GMK 4100L, Terex Demag ac100 and Liebherr LTM1050. Hopefully the mighty MAN TGX with Palfinger will be added in the coming months.. Hope you like
Noel.

A nice line up indeed. I know what you are saying about the 1050-3.1 cab and even though it is not 100% correct, the fine detail of this model I think is unbeatable.
But even with the AC100/4, it is certainly not 100% either as some of the paint job is not accurate. I do not have this model as probably won't get it purely because of finances (LG1550 Riga is due any day!). I saw the Mammoet AC100/4 at the model show and it is a far cry from the one Mammoet actually own so I didn't get it either, but might in the future just to keep up the Mammoet collection.
But a great sight to see all your Wiesbauer cranes lined up!

Sweet line up Noel,and nice collections,maybe someday Weisbauer will buy this model Liebherr, Great to see more companies pushing Conrad to up their detailing,and looking at the Kavanagh and Weisbauer ac100's,they are still smart items considering they are what 4yr old castings,plus being Conrad and built the way Conrad builds, they will surely last the test of time without shedding parts. you need to somehow get your greedy little paws on an ac25 is it? now who would have one of those oh and try buy that Prototype GTK for the rumoured €XX,XXX

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.

Thanks guys, Graham I haven't forgotten about that ac25 at all and i'm hoping its not already sold as it would be great to have with the fleet. I just hadn't the money to be spending on models in the past while. Paul, the 1050 is a great little model alright, very nicely detailed. The only complaint I would have about it is that the smaller sized decals on it seem to be raised very high from the paintwork and have a sort of 'cloud' around them, similar to the outline around waterslide decals. When I compared it to the printing on the TWH groves there was no comparison, the groves are much better from this perspective. Apart from that though its a lovely model and i'd like to see WSI making some bigger cranes, maybe an ltm1500 sometime! BTW, you helped get me into this wiesbauer financial mess with the wiesbauer groves! I may not have bothered collecting this livery had you not got me them! As for the wiesbauer ac100, the only differences I can see between the real one and the model are the Terex Demag decals missing from the side panels and from the front of the cab and the boom decals but these could be added quite easily. I assume wiesbauer didn't want them as it is to promote their company and not demags?!

Hmmm, forgot about the Groves and where they came from!
As for the AC100, those are the decals I was thinking of and also I can't find a picture of the AC100 with the wheel hubs painted like the model. Admittedly most Wiesbauers have red hubs but the AC100 seems not to (1:1 version at least). But easy to fix as you said.

Well done! I knew they must be painted but missed that post on Hansebube! But I bet the model don't have the Wiesbauer name on the boom sections Easy fix though. Now I'm running out of excuses not to buy it Paul R

Yeah Graham I cant wait to get my hands on that particular hooker, I still cant believe its being made! And the MAN with Palfinger cant be too far off now either. I have a couple of trucks in mind for wiesbauerizing alright, the Volvo is under serious pressure!

Hello all, haven't been on here much lately, been very busy with work the past few months. Anyway here's a couple of my latest Felbermayr additions. The first is a very rare LTM1070 which I picked up a couple of months ago, it was only made for Felbermayr themselves and wasn't a general release model like the current Felbermayr LTM1070 on the market, so I was delighted to get the opportunity to get my hands on one! The second model for today is the Mercedes Actros with 6 axle goldhofer STZ trailer from conrad which arrived recently. The load is the luffing section from the Felbermayr ac500 luffer. The Felbermayr LR1300 has also been added to the fleet but lots of pics of this have already been posted by Graham and Paul.

Always a good complaint lad Nice additions to the fleet, I was thinking about getting the current version of the 1070 in felbermayr but then I'll have to start collecting everything felbermayr and that will get expensive so I'll leave that to you

Very very nice there Noel,you are right about the new Merc unit,it does look well,and look slike you snared yourself a little gem too in that 1070!! these are one of the hardest lifters to come across,now put it in a UV protected vacuum glass case protected by a series of infrared laser beams on a pressure sensitive plynth,
Thanks for posting,hopefully you will now stick around and post a few more from your sharp refined collection

Thanks guys, Aubrey I really hope wiesbauer buy an ac1000, i'd love to have one in their livery to add to my fleet And your right it will grow, in fact it already has, the ac500 is here and the MAN with Palfinger will hopefully be along soon! Graham we dont need that kind of security down here, unlike you lot up there in the rough part of the capital!
