Hi Joe,
nice reading from you. Everything´s ok?

As I wrote Glass Construction wanted a new Model-Excavator. Between the company and myself there are several connections. We had to decide between the "almost available" Liebherr R956 and the "in stock" Komatsu PC490. Frank and I, beeing total Liebherr nerds, put our heads together and decided to give it a shot.

The kit itself is perfectly designed, the main obstacles were the (then) missing manual and some pre-production bugs. So yeah, I´m really happy I was able to gain the experience of building this model. We´ve had a lot of contact and discussions that will help me with future projects.

Beeing the 4th excavator in the fleet, there will be no further purchase in that area. I´ve got to finish the wheeled one first. The front-shovel is therefore not an option. I think we´ve reached the end of the road, as 8 models are already hard to handle for the events. Sorry.

I´ll meassure the reach and get back at you as soon as possible.

bye
Ulrich
