Had to remove some other cranes to get space for that beast, damn its big!!!  Here togheter with some other of my cranes, looks pretty good :D  But But But damn, the back cable drum are wasted, it cant spin around :O! i had to use a knife to cut off the wires of the drum so see if anything was stuck downthere, but im not sure what the problem is, BUT, i know i need to replace the pin that holds it because that brake off when i turned too hard on the screwdriver thing you use to spin it around, damn!!! :(   I guess i need to contact NZG about this problem, i really hope i can get a new cabledrum, but i just wonder how to replace it :S Anyway, im wondering where these on the picture belong, any1 having a idea?

Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or are the tracks on that 8800 upside down?
The beatings will continue until Morale improves......

It really sucks that you can't buy an expensive model without failures. But well, contact NZG and get a new one.

You got close :D, we call it a Kampf Kran (war crane), every army needs one! for carrying brigdes for crossing rivers and such, and the fact the real verison can be over 200 meters high makes it ideal for sniping and survilance missions, everyone knows that if you just paint it in camoflage colors no one will ever notice it in the landscape, haha! To the more serious facts: well, we (me and some friends) was having some fun with turning em upside down when we was putting it togheter, and it just stayed that way, it fits perfectly both ways :P But, we agreed that i should have one more cc8800 and paint it in camoflage colors, dessert or suburban camo, could be a fun little project.

Well, everybody seems to have been so busy with the upside down crawlers of your CC they totally forgot to answer your question: those red parts are spare. Another pair of them is fitted at the front of the main boom section, where the boom outriggers attach. Martijn

Det ser godt ud - men selvfølgelig lidt ærgeligt, at spillet gik i stykker...

I'm not a 1:50 collector - although I have just ordered the Torben Rafn Volvo FH700 XXL from LTM. I'm more a 1:1 guy - I'm the webmaster of the CraneList, and I am working on a book about the mobile cranes from Liebherr. I'm a little active in the 1:24 scale, where I'm building the Scania Longline with MWT from Give Sværgods.

But hey, that 1/24 truck looks damn cool and very fun to build and paint, where did you get this stuff? and what is it made off? ANd i also know about www.kranliste.dk, been looking at it alot, its a great site :D

The MWT is made out of CNC milled plastic. The truck is a standard Scania-plastic-kit, with some extra parts made of resin. The Longline-conversion is made of resin.
Italeri makes the 4x2 Scania, and MAD Modellbau from Germany has made the conversion to 8x4. The Longline conversion is from KFS from England.
The MWT is from MAD Modellbau, but AFAIK they're out of business, and the kits are no longer availiable.
