paul. I can help you there paul!  I have a can of the RAL paint sitting here too but for something else Hmm something else eh? Could it possibly be for a crane from an opposing manufacturer to liebherr, with a capacity half the size of the 11200 minus another hundred by any chance??

paul. Definitely! In fact that is what I have been doing today is painting YCC cylinders in preparation for the McNallys  Have a set for the FB as well but haven't installed them yet. Despite the RAL codes it is quite hard to get them to match! But they look a lot better than the plastic ones. Paul R

I have a couple-o-sets on the way too,if the mechanism behind them is what I think it is then YCC will be onto a winner,who knows we might see them making models in the future too

My only concern is chipping the paint when you tighten them up but I am hoping that something wrapped around a small adjustable spanner might prevent that.

That is quite a trio Graham! I just might have to pick one up very nice, you really do need the factory version, just to round it out. Plus it's nice to have to modify first before you put the McNally's under the knife!  Mine has received 50% stops and gray treatment on the boom, as well it will receive the "YCC cylinder manufacturing compant of Asia's" cylinder kits first. Mark

well YCC delivery arrived a day or so ago,mammoet and Franz Bracht,I fitted the Bracht ones first,a handy tip that was previously posted is to polish the rods first,as they just have the plain allu extruded or rolled surface,I have to say they add greatly to the model,and as was mentioned the spanner supplied doesn't look like it will last long,buy and cut down a standard 11mm spanner,
my only gripe is the parts (I bought the ready assembled painted ones) seem to be very delicate,I had to re-glue some of the add-ons back on,so care is needed when handling and fitting
I won't be getting any for the McNallys,decals just ain't the same as the painted on sign writing IMO

O&K RH340E back hoe  Demag H 485 S  Komatsu PC3000 FS  Komatsu PC3000 back hoe  Terex O&K RH120E  O&K RH120C UK Coal  Liebherr R994 FS  Liebherr R996 FS  Thats the big hydro shovels done,now the loading shovels Cat 994F  LeTourneau L1850,another one of my favourites    Finally the Bucyrus 495HR     Thanks for looking,hope you enjoyed
