Re: Liebherr 944B
That repair will hardly be noticeable when you re-install the boom.
On my Fumotec digger the oil filters are in the return lines. (there are 2 of those in the PC490)

Re: Liebherr 944B
Great repair and interesting to see how those booms are made!
Since you are in France, why not give the people at Premacon a phone call? Faster than writing an email and waiting for reply.
Hope...

Re: witch bruder to build?
Having followed a couple of build threads on Bruder conversions in one of the German forums, the D9 track loader seems to be a more interesting build.

Re: Fumotec Komatsu 490 LC build
I presumed the battery I have would be heavy enough. It just fits in the opening I cut and weighs in at about 400 grams. If that is not enough I can always source some lead to put in the bottom part...
