Volvo G990 Grader 1:8 - Small update

Re: Volvo G990 Grader

Thanks very much guys. Yes, Lynn, you are right. Those covers sits quite tightly. The specification says "blade down force capability 11 058 kg (24,457 lb). Don´t think the screws alone would cope...

Re: Volvo G990 Grader

At least there used to be such information. However, it was written in German and, the last time I saw it, the picture links were dead. I'll try to find the article again.
