landman Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys. Painted the crane orange. A real Hiab 205 is black. That wouldn't do. Edited October 28, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Added the fenders, backup light and mud flaps. As soon as the crane is completely dry, I'll start the detailing and assembly.

gotnitro? Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Outstanding job, theres so many details you've added it really makes it realistic ! Definitely like your choice of boom color , orange makes it stand out not disappear under coat of black Noticed watching highway thru hell most of their trucks have bright colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing yours I am thinking of adding it to my Bison. I I know it is not the same quality but it will help fill the void between the cab and trailer. Thanks for the idea.

Sam, I have the Italeri crane on an L700. I had bought the KFS first but found it would have been too big. The Italeri is a very nice unit as well, just a bit smaller.

Turns out the u-bolt to mount it to the frame are twice as wide as the frame channel, so I have to add "reinforcements" to the inside of the frame channels. That will be tricky.

landman Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) The crane is mounted. Installing the U-bolts. Changed the mudflaps to cover the whole width of the fenders. Looking for a place to put the pogo stick. Not much room if we allow for the rotation of the trailer front. Crane partially deployed. Everything works on this unit, the stick & booms pull out and retract, the crane swivels, the outriggers pull out and retract so do their legs.
