Digging the service trucks DM has planned for 2025! Just missing a lube skid in the bed. I hope they have working outriggers unlike the ones made in the past by First Gear and Norscot. Also wish they have them planned in plain colors too.

The rear outriggers work according to some new photos released and shown on Mini Movers NL.

Je n'attends qu' une chose de **, c'est qu'il change son packaging et baisse par le fait le prix de ses modèles. Les boites sont énormes, plus lourde que le modèle et j'en ai marre de payer le prix fort pour une boite qui est stockée dans mon grenier à la seule vue des araignées. Ils justifient les prix élevés à cause de l'augmentation du prix du transport, alors vous pouvez gagner beaucoup sur le packaging, et sur le coût de la matière première. Là aussi, il y a plus de ferraille dans la boite que dans le modèle......
Quand je vois le prix du Cat 995 qui n'est rien d'autres que la Cat 994K (hormis le godet), ils prennent les collectionneurs pour des idiots, arrêtons de faire des louanges à ces gens, soyez plus critiques.

Pascal, I agree with you on the packaging. While the metal tins do look nice they do take up a lot of space and have added to the increase in DMs pricing. I guess a person could throw the foam away and reuse the tins as storage for parts or other small items so they're not a total waste of space. I'd prefer cardboard boxes with the foam inserts over the metal tins.

Thanks for your answer, I thought Iwas alone to think that.
