Thanks Shovelman. That model's not listed on any sites- is it a new release? What's the price?

The pics of this at MineExpo had this thing looking pretty cheapy-cheapy, but your photos do it justice. I think I would still like to have one of these after seeing it again.
So how much of it (minus the cab) is actually plastic?

At MINExpo; nobody would remove the prototype model from the box, so it was impossible to know how much was metal and what was plastic. The front and sides of the cab are made of metal, with the rear being plastic. The undercarriage, deck, A-frame, and mast are metal. Most of the deck machinery is plastic as is the drill rod and hydraulic line retainer on the mast. Overall a very nice model, but a little pricey (in my opinion). If the sun comes out today, I'll try to take some better photos and some close-ups. Please use this before clicking "post"??? You may be surprised with what you see!

Shovelman, thanks for posting these photos! I'm really looking forward to this model. Hopefully the amount of plastic on it won't be a disappointment. How much did you pay for the model? Here are a few photos of the Pit Viper at Farmersburg. It's a beast of a drill compared to the smaller Drilteks and Ingersol Rand drills at the mine. - Alex

Alex, Look for an e-mail from me later this evening? Eric Pioszak wrote:so where can we pick these up? they're not on DHS, or Atlas Copco's site... I ordered mine through an AtlasCopco Drilling Solutions dealer. I know of no model dealers here or abroad stocking these models. Please use this before clicking "post"???

Alex, I noticed a significant difference in the PV-275 photos you posted, from the new scale model. The machine you photographed has a single rear-mounted hydraulic stabilizer, but the scale model has dual units. As strange as it seems, I can't understand two being better than one in this application. Can someone tell me why this is? Please use this before clicking "post"??? You may be surprised with what you see!

Shovelman, Just a question, how large is that model when compared to the 49HR?
