Conrad releases are a bit disapointing so far

Nothing major for the crane Guys,



You guys get spoiled enough! I'm damn pleased with Conrad's lineup! Even though they're just "repaints" I'll likely be picking up a case of each of these, provided they're not in the $200+ range...

Perhaps Conrad are holding some models back until Bauma?.

The R9800 is a beast and it's fantastic to finally see it but personally I would prefer the backhoe version.

I just noticed the Liebherr R 954 C is in all white... I didin't see it earlier because I assumed it was a Vinci model. Looks nice with the quickcoupler and three attachments!!

Yes it is but as has been mentioned in a later post, there is Bauma to consider and I'm sure most manufacturers are holding back because of this.

Wow, I'm really surprised by the lukewarm reaction to news of the Liebherr 9800. It looks amazing and I'm so pleased it is Conrad that will be producing it. Hopefully a backhoe version will follow at some point, as was the case with the 996.

Gee, I wonder what it could be Think

Yes, your suspicions are spot on, I already have (12) 954's stripped and waiting in the shop, but...

Mitchtim, yes it is 1:5. Just read on page 6 of the Bouwmachine link above, WSI will have several Large scale cranes including the LTM1500. Second last post on the page.
