Nice to something new coming from Frank and later Vario! The model looks and performs great. Subscribing.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

Vario?

Frank has his own model company now, it's called Fumotec.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

I want one also, but he doesn't seem too enthused about selling since I have emailed him many times without any answers. By the way there is no paint on the cab, it's just a 3d printed white plastic.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

I ment the komatsu paint is a no go here ;) I ran some , and we only owned 1 . It got traded along with the JD's . Every 1 of their excavators I ran had no power in the track drives . I got use to turning with the stick :rolleyes: the dozer we rented was too light . I hope he does . this would be the 1st model that I'm really interested in buying .I was born on 6 way blades:rolleyes:

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

Yep, looks really fun, should be a good working machine.

It ain't even painted in the video, I guess it will be Komatsu yellow.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

It'll be on offer probably in the Fall... he'll have a couple of his friends build the 1st few & give him feedback on what should be improved or changed... just like his other model kits.

I've been bending his ear quite a bit lately with this B4206 build... I'm sure he gets a lot of email!

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

Anybody know what the price on this might be? Do these come in kits or built and will there or might there be a straight blade option?

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

As far I have reading on some German sides there is no price of yet. The Dozer will be available in late fall this year. I have not read anything about a straight blade option only the multifunction blade.

Bernd

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

It looks good .Going to be a great all around kind of dozer ..His tracks look great ..ahve to see if he will make these available...doesnt look like it was used at all for the meet though

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

That's pretty nice! I wasn't sure I was going to really like model because the dimensions of the 1:1 Komatsu machine are quite different than most North American built dozers, but now that we can see a picture of it painted up, I actually think it looks great. Frank has done it again.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

Oh Man that is an awesome looking machine all painted up!!! Fall cannot get here soon enough.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

I know :eek: but I went a different route for my cabin fever needs :rolleyes:
I'm still interested though :D

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

DO TELL PLEASE:bounce:

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

very nice. any idea when they will be available?

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

I believe Frank is due to release this in the Fall, at least I'm really hoping so :D:D

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

I got an email from him today saying that this pic shows it 90% complete. He didn't put it in the dirt last wkend, he wants to finish it 1st. He didn't say when that might be.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65

looks like he is ready to take orders :) not a bad price with hydros .

It won't be this year for me :(, but this will be in my stable .

Re: Fumotec Komatsu DX65
 

Ok so I have emailed him about ordering one and having him build it so I don't have to deal with issues of a new model or missing parts, never heard back from him so I'm taking that as a NO GO. Oh well, I'll wait until THS maybe comes out with one.

It would be better to call Frank he speaks english. Ed
