I have spotted that the drake has been fitted together he wrong way around. Being a 7 with 2 and 3 clips the 2 clips should be at the back. Also I hope that the suspension and steering works just like the real thing. And it would look better than this

The motorart Volvos look interesting, the tracks on the excavators look terrible but the rest of the machines loaders look pretty good.
Im thinking that it will be the year of the wheel loader. There are so many choices that some may get lost in the shuffle.

Well done Conrad on the 9800! That is very impressive, far more detailed than anything else from them in recent times. What a knock out! And that Drake trailer looks tough! I really like that plane tug too...   Rowan.

Sennebogen will release an 8130 EQ material handler. Looks fantastic, and will certainly find it's way into my collection!!

I too am hoping for new groves, gmk6350 or 6400  They posted 2 days ago on Facebook, nicholas and ryan were heading over there and that 2013 will be very exciting! but I'm guessing the new stuff from them will be announced at bauma.

You would think TWH would have made an announcement by now if the 31000 was ready anytime soon as they did say Feb 2013. They seem to have into the deep quite mode on that model.

Even at 1/50 scale, the wingspan of an A380 would be about 5 feet! Kind of hard to shove into the display case!

PacMin has you covered with both the Boeing 747-8 and the upcoming A380-800 in 1:50 (No; this is not a misprint). Surely they would produce landing gear in lieu of the display stand for the price they charge?
Please use this before clicking "post"??? You may be surprised with what you see!

The tracks are plastic. I saw a Airbus A380 in 1/50 scale last year listed on ebay.But it did not have a landing gear and the price was around 3000 euro.  http://limox.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=53&lang=de

I'd like to see the LR 1600/2 in a narrow track configuration like the LTR 11200,that would make a nice model,looks like it is going to be an expensive year for the crane guys
if more is released at Bauma,for those that can afford it,middle of the year is going to be a worry,31000,LR1600 + what ever comes from Bauma,
The 10 row float from drake looks good,Bruce kept that one on the quiet,might stick a K200 in front of it.
