According to WSI, the ripper functionality should be improved to offer a more realistic range of movement on the next production run of models. Steven

Steven Thanks for that Steven,I reckoned you could improve the movement by taking out the pins and filing of the little nubs on the main frame,but then the rams would probably come out the cylinders,  Regards Joe.

Thanks Joe! I agree it looks fantastic.
Steven,
I've been told a yellow version will come in the summer, so I assume this is the second run. Can you confirm this?

The white version was a complete sell out, so another batch of the white version is being produced (with the improvements). There is also likely to be a yellow version of the model produced later this year, but my understanding is that it will only be available from model dealers, and not from the Liebherr shop (Like the white R970 SME) Steven

Guys A few comparative photos of the 776 model. 1 dozer standard and the other with the stops on the ripper cut off to allow the ripper tilt cylinders to extend when ripper in raised position. Makes the model pose much more nicely in my opinion. Modification is easy, remove the pivot pins (where ripper box joins to ripper beam)pull rods out of cylinders, cut the lugs off the beam and reassemble. ( sorry should have taken photos when I did it!!) Just need to touch up the paint on the pin head and you couldn't tell it was done.   "/>  "/>  "/> Enjoy!
