Well, as he lives in Singapore, I think he got it from Hobby Link Japan. I also recognize the invoice on the packaging. Not a bad price too, just about € 86 euro's or $ 137 USD. Model looks a lot more detailed than the Himobo model. Might have to order one of those babies myself soon!!

I'm waiting for a detailed review!! Applause Applause Applause

Nice detail but have to say the main lifting blade cylinders are way too massive and distracting !

R/C Komatsu D575A3 SD model video
Of course the hydraulic cylinders are to big,they are miniature electric motors,the blade lift's,curls in and out and even tilts,all by remote,and it's only 1/50th scale,and it's cheap, Applause Applause

Hi,
Well, I bought it from KenKraft in Japan though a friend of mine last week, when he was visiting the shop. Their stock last only 2 days. Lucky me still able to grab one...I also order it from HLJ many months back. But they always backordered, wonder when I will get it if i don't get from Kenkraft..

It is made of plastic. If it was made with diecast, i think it will not able to move due to heavier weight. it is only 370grams compare to one which made by himobo is much much heavier than that..

it is also a very good static display model. A few points i like to mention, it has wiper,internal cab details with an operator,removable rear counter weight, see through radiator grill and 16 rolling track rollers.

Certainly a must have model if the chance are come by...I will rate it to 70 score. The score will up further if the unit come with variable speed and sound..

As for the PC1250, it is not out yet... i wonder when tooo.

Absolutely. You'd need big (and expensive) motors and gear to move a diecast model that size...
