I like the smooth tracks....not the best for an excavator, but reminds you that its a crawler crane with a excavator boom.

Yes, he did the 400. I read the thread. There was talk about doing a 500 but not sure if it happened.

I built 6 325h excavators...3 or 4 350h front shovels... 3 400h mass excavators and one 400h standard hoe. I actually built 12 cabs , bodies and counterweights for the 500h but never finshed them. The doner model was going to be the joal 1/32 komatsu pc400 but this model has become too expensive in my opinion to use. It would increase the price more than I feel comfortable selling them for...yes I could ebay them as some of my past machines sold for well over 600 but to sell to my regular buyers at a reasonable price wouldnt be possible. On the other hand if a few collectors wanted to supply the doner I could buil one for them . But again it will not be an inexpensive model.
