Thank you very much William and more different configurations setups on the way so stay tune as they surface Teeth Shame on you . Also note this is actually a real truck setup at the company I work for and we move loads like this but the real truck has side panels which I have to put on but didn't do it as I was awaiting white ones. Here is the real truck

So these are 1/50 scale then?
I've been eyeing these KDW for a while but when investigating the scale, they always say 1/24. Then there's the 'bay' where in the same listing it says 1/50 scale in one place and 1/24 in another.

Neat custom Roland

A cutter,

I bought 3 of 'em last month on the bay, they look more between 1/45 or 1/47, a little bit too big than the MR found on the schwing concrete pumps, but I was still surprised by the overall bang for dollar, well made, many metal parts including the garbage bin which looks really good... Displayed in the right place on your shelves it needs a well trained eye to see the difference, but it can also be a wonderful model to pic parts to make something else...

Hmmm, this thread made me really think. I don't suppose I won many rare models. I have quite a few of the limited release CCM models, D9G, 385CL, 390DL etc... But other than that, most of mine are pretty mainstream I suppose. I have one very, very nice custom piece that should arrive in the next few weeks that I'm looking forward to sharing.

Customs:

1:25 CAT 375L



1:25 R/C CAT D11R's





Mass Produced

1/43 Chetra T40





Some of the more obscure but perhaps not rare...

1/43 Kobelco SK850LC-9
1/43 Komatsu PC750-6
1/50 Hundai Robex 800LC-7A
1/50 Doosan DX700
1/60 Hitachi EX1800

I guess its not really rare but more uncommon- a 1:32 Skytrak 10054 Telehandler. The box says 5000 were made, but I looked for a year or two before I found one.

Has anyone seen one of these before? I got this from a guy back in the '70s who had it on his windowsill, and the tracks were already dried out and split. I've thought about using a belt from an ink jet printer and trimming it down to fit, but the thing's an odd scale as you can see in the photo with the Bic lighter. This thing is all metal aside from the track rollers and the missing rubber tracks. When I asked about the the missing air filter he said he thought his grandson ingested it.
