Looks like another winner. I'm very glad they decided to do both the front shovel & the backhoe version!

The level of detail is just staggering. I mean, this thing is HO scale, so it´s pretty small. Yet, they are putting a lot more details in it than other comanies do on there huge 1/50 scle models.
I know, detail has its price. But just for showing what´s possible, this looks to be one of the best examples.

Wow. It's good to see a company take pride in quality craftsmanship. I won't be buying one but I hope that I'll get to drool all over a keyboard somewhere looking at photos of them on this forum.

I wonder what size this will come out at once fully assembled. I don't have any 1:87th scale pieces in my collection at the moment, but if I were ever to start...... Rowan.

For reference my 1:87 O&K RH 400 from OHS is a shade under 9" long from the back of the machine to the tip of the shovel and my CCM D11R is a bit over 5" from the back of the ripper to the front of the blade.

You should have started when OHS was a reputable company and was producing the RH400s and MT-4400s! I've heard many different stories about their demise, but cannot say if any of them is true. Some outstanding pieces for a short period of time to be sure! I would guess the 5230 model would be ~6 3/4 inches in the same retracted arm/bucket teeth on the ground position apm2754 described of his RH400. We need a 785 or 789 to compliment this 5230 in my opinion.

The detail is phenomenal. Actually their Terex & Unit Rig trucks were great, too. The MT-4400 was very detailed & the version with the Philippi-Hagenbuch Hi-Vol bed is sweet. I'd agree on the 789. I have 2 of the resin kits from D&K. I guess now I have the motivation to assemble them.

Of course, if they were to do another Cat shovel, I'd vote for the 6050.
