That Borger 1750 looks really great. Good colors lots of decals, I would like to have that one in the collection. Can't keep up with all the releases now. Thanks for the pictures Paul!


Me neither so I don't even try anymore! It is part of the reason that I passed on the MAX cranes 11200, as much as I would liked to have had it.

Thanks for the pictures Paul! That Wiesbauer ltm 1750 is very nice, I had to grab one myself. Probably going to grab the ltm 1500 luffing jib for it as well.

A Millwright..... in Alberta.

Osprey LG 1550 SL 70m.

A project that has been underway for several months now. There was a lot of input from Osprey themselves as well as two of the drivers and a ballast wagon driver. Without this help, the level of detail on this model would not have been achievable.
Also a big thank you to Chou at YCC. His attention to detail is unsurpassed and there quite a few nice little details on this model not seen before.

I am very happy with the final result and it has been a fun project to be involved in.







These LED's on the roof were added by the drivers of the real one and are unique to this model





Ladder is removable and replicates the real one



Fire extinguisher and lights at each end of the bumper were also made specifically for this model.

Only 85 of these models have been made!

I hope to get it rigged in the next few days.

Looks like a great model Paul. I don't see these for sale anywhere besides AZNkrane though, is it exclusive through them?

Yes the original has been updated and the model replicates this new upgrade/update.

Osprey LG 1550 SLDB is now rigged:







Red ladder shown here came with the crane when it was bought from Canada. It is unique to this crane













Silver ladder shown here is also unique to the crane and was made by one of the drivers



Most of the boom sections, hooks and other parts have unique numbers that one of the drivers did in his spare time!









Level of detail on this model is about as good as it gets. But I may be a little biased Teeth

Any idea if YCC would consider selling that diesel tank individually?

Ross


They currently sell the Baldwin’s branded one separately. Maybe the Osprey one laster.

They are PN: YC420-X
