Very nice trucks and crane, I have been waiting to see if any US dealers pick up that ltr. I guess not, will have to order one from overseas. The latest MAN trucks from Conrad are stepped up a bit, might have to add that one too.

Thanks graham and mark, graham the ltr just about edges it size wise over the cc  You'll have to add them to your blue fleet! Mark, i agree the conrad trucks are definitely getting better, i actually prefer them to wsi's trucks, their way more solid and the new ballast box on this particular one is a lot more realistic to the one WSI put on all their ballast box models. On another note, if you look at the Felbermayr decal on the boom of the ltr you'll see a little 'R' (registered trade mark) logo after the name. This is the first time i've seen this on a felbermayr model, i was wondering if this is to replicate the real machine or are felbermayr now trade marking their name on merchandise to prevent people copying them? 
Noel.

She is looking just great! I am still amazed that Ricky was able to get all the details in the cab like he did. Really finishes it off and makes it a little more unique that the others.
And you had quite an early one too!

Paul R Paul, you've passed your Irish test for today! The details are incredible alright, i had to get a magnifying glass to read the little banners on the windscreen but their crystal clear, even though their that small. The miller flag is a touch of class too!

The "Miller flag is a touch of class?" hehe...over here on our side of the pond, Miller is one of the bottom of the barrel beers I figured anything but a Guiness sign over there would be considered sacrilegious! -Alvin.
