Just got these in and figured I'd share some photos with you all in case you were thinking about getting one... but weren't sure yet whether to order or not? Detail is fantastic as usual from First Gear as you can see in the photos. The arms lift high and hold steady (as I know some had complained about the limited motion on the Cat 950H model from Norscot) so no worries there. She looks super on a lowboy as a load and with the real machine weighing in at about 37 Tons... it's accurate with most any of the lowboys on the market now or in the recent past (Sword Pete w/ Rogers of course). For now, I only have these pics available, but I would say this model will look good in any scenerio! I can't wait to get my hands on the other FG Komatsu Models coming out this year! I primarily collect Cat models... but this one is going straight into my display case immediately! Enjoy the pics ... Prt

Glad you like the pics CheeseHead. The Komatsu WA500-6 Wheel Loader is roughly equal (slightly heavier and more HP also) to a Cat 980H. ... Prt

I'm glad you all enjoyed the pics. And I agree completely that First Gear should DEFINITELY make the WA1200... that is if Komatsu is really going to have one made! Now that would be a spectacular model! ... Prt

I want to second or third that idea of having a WA1200 built, but at the same time, I would like someone to make a PC8000 as well, and possible a 930E to go with it. Lets face it, the PC8000 will need a truck bigger enough to load.

Thanks
