I'm afraid this doesn't exist in real life (at least not to my knowledge)... it's just the magic of Photoshop.

What do you prefer - white or yellow? Teeth

Well if WSI are making it,we'll surely see it in every conceivable colour and livery,Mammoet,Sarens and most importantly Ocean Traders d'oh! d'oh!

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

And why not Ocean Traders?Think Surely they'd have one....have a need for one.......how else would they dislodge a container from a trailer? ( huh? ) Or what would they use to apply ample enough downward pressure to a container to see that it's well secured to a trailer? ( I ask you )
Plus they could use it to demolish old unwanted containers........and ooh it'd be such a spiffy livery.Angel

It looks too much like a Komatsu, better in white or original Liebherr-yellow.

And Gbarnewall, don't mess with the OT, I have almost al their models.
And in a couple of weeks the Scheuerle will arrive!

It's possible that an R9100 exists in yellow, but it would surely have a white cab! I think this is easy for you to change. Look at the difference then. I've recently received a photo of an R9350 in yellow from a friend in Europe, but don't have permission to post it. It's the first one I've seen in the proper yellow and in my opinion looks much better than the off-white monochromatic scheme.

'Looking forward to your updated image, if you should decide to do it?

Done. I have to say I prefer the "all yellow" look, but it does look good with the white cab too. Cool

You're almost there! It looks to me like you went back to the original pale grey color and not a true white.

Since it seems easy for you to do; can we see the photo with a white cab? You can always change it back. I wish I could manipulate photos as easy as you seem to.

I can remember when Liebherr excavators had only a white "cap" on the top of the cab, then they went on to the entire cab being white. There's something about the contrast in colors that just looks "right" to my old eyes.

Updated the cab again. I'm using Photoshop CS5 which is very powerful software, and it's pretty easy to manipulate individual colours... the Liebherr took a bit more time because I had to manually add the yellow.

Here's a Hitachi EX1200 in off-white :D

I picked up the yellow T264 at the open house and like the Liebherr in yellow. It has a complete white cab.

Yes I own a lot of Norscot Cat models they remind me of my many good years working for a Cat Dealer. Going out to the back forty after work playing with used equipment just moving dirt around

Wow... four and a half years! I like it a lot and think it might even have the edge on the Eiffage white version, which is also really nice.

But nothing beats the R9150 in Liebherr yellow. What a beast; I only wish we saw more of it!

au contraire! I'll see your all yellow R9150 and raise you raise with a yellow R9350 with the proper white cab.
