Winch planetary housing problem/bolts too wimpy. They had some break.

This crane would make an incredible model especially with the P-boom.

Still pretty cool looking at the pics of this rig and think of all the work we did moving in and out of BP in Whiting, IN. I will have to go through my pics and see if I can find the one of me hauling the sheave packs.

I would prefer NZG to do it, they have done the other Liebherr's.. I have a Tonkin crane and its nice but I think NZG is better.

The picture at the bottom of this page http://www.hansebubeforum.de/showtopic.php?threadid=15992&pagenum=22&time=1394050768 would make a sweet model.

Yes indeed. YCC or Tonkin should propose a "base model" in that "Strong" configuration and propose some optionnal booms sets in original Liebherr colors.

That would lower the selling price and allow for easy customisation for the serious collectors who really want a specific livery. Painting booms is much easier that doing paint and decal jobs on carbodies.
