Thanks Sam.If you go to the first photo, you’ll see that it is  “almost” plagiarism.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Glad you like it Sam. the Motomaster color is an old can I had. They sell nothing but Duplicolor now. However  I'm sure there is a Duplicolor green like that.

Thanks Pat !

Looking good need to scratch one in Ho 1/87 scale. 

[tbill]

That’s looking superb! 

[landman]

Thanks guys. Painted the crane orange. A real Hiab 205 is black. That wouldn't do.

Added the fenders, backup light and mud flaps. As soon as the crane is completely dry, I'll start the detailing and assembly.

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

I have the Italeri conversion kit with the crane. 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.

Thanks Tom. Here it is completed. 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.

Looks pretty Awesome from here!!

[landman]

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.
