On behalf of Peter{footloose52}

"I received my Conrad Liebherr R9800 last week & thought I would take a couple of photos to compare it with my R9800 'KPC' backhoe by Peter Keim.‘Shovelman’....the label on my box is exactly like yours..... all 0s.
Just a couple of points I’d like to say about the Conrad model-a pity they did not have the full detail on the track frame sides,by replicating the unpainted,silver inspection hatch covers and yellow lifting lugs-as per the real machine. I noticed Conrad also used very dark plastic for the cab glass.Considering that it is a mass produced model,I reckon they still did a pretty good job overall. Hope you enjoy the photos!"

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed looking at the photos.
Regards from down under

Great pictures Peter and Brian C, thanks for posting. They really show the 'next level' of detailing and refinement that comes with a one-off custom by the likes of Mr. Keim. I think the Conrad model holds its own very well though, especially when you consider the difference in price!

I wish I could afford a Peter Keim 9800 so I could put it with a Peter Keim RH400. That would be a nice pair of models.

Peter is fortunate enough to own a number of Mr Keim's models. Hopefully he can arrange a RH400 and R9800 photoshoot. A while ago he posted some great pictures of his KPC 9800 with a 996.
