I know there is a thread like this that is 6 years old but a lot of photo links are dead, so I figured I start a new one. whats your rarest model in your collection?

Going through my collection this has to be the rarest, Conrad Hagglunds BV206 1/50th scale, they made three versions of this, one with a Ericsson radar dish on the roof, roof rack version (the one I have), and one with a plain roof. Although not really valuable, these are very very hard to come by. Conrad also made some other rare military models.



Also rare, Conrad Multicar 1/50th scale, nice little public service vehicle.

I don't think anything in my collection is rare. I have few older pieces but nothing that I would consider rare.

I haven't bought any real rare pieces but I have quite a few rare customs. I haven't seen many other 320 LLs so that's probably my rarest one.

I have quite a few rare and uncommon pieces, so heres some of the rarer ones. I figured i'd show a few for those who haven't herd of them before.



Some rare Modeling Ashiya excavators, The Kobelco K909A (yellow & black version) & MDI Yutani MD180LC.
On the bottom is probably one of the rarest model of mine, the Diapet K-47 Kobelco excavator in 1:60 scale. They came with a sheet of stickers with either "Kobe" or "Kobelco" and various model designations.



Here's two other rare models, on the top is the Volvo 5350 made by Stahlbergs in Finland in 1:32,1:34, or 1:35 scale. I wouldn't classify it as "rare" but it is a very uncommon piece.
on the bottom is the Halla HE280LC in 1:40 scale. It doesn't have any marking to who the manufacturer would be, but i suspect it is Clover.



Some more rare pieces, the 1:40 scale UI Modeling Kobelco K907LC Mark II, the Guisval-Eurohobby PC400LC-4 in 1:32 scale.
The next one is not really a construction model but it is rare and different, a John Deere 225G made by SpecCast in 1:16ish scale, it was a limited run of 200 pieces. Than on the bottom theres the Ditch Witch 3500 by Clover in 1:43 scale, and finally theres the ASAM Terberg F2000 in 1:50ish Scale.

I really don't have too many rare models, I guess the Roadtec Shuttlebuggy would be the most rare? But I consider my S24B to be my favorite rare model, even if it is a custom, just because I have not seen any other B model Terex S24's or TS24's.

Also proud to have a rare custom LTM1300 in Stevenson colors, complete with boom dolly (sorry no pictures).

Some of my rare models, would have to say these are probably my rarest, the Saris utility trailer by NZG, the Hoffman H33-3 line marking machine by NZG, and the Sany SRC865XL rough terrain crane made by an unknown chinese manufacturer.
