Good Morning folks,
some infos on liebherrmodelle.de:
For Frank and Tom the company was a thing aside regular work. I think they´ve never expected the success of the 944. In october they reorganised their business. Tom is now back in AFV and Frank founded an new company together with Bertold Osswald. It´s called "Premacon". More infos on Trucks&details online.
With this step, they say, they´re improving production and delivering. So sometime soon, the wait hopefully won´t be as long as it´s been in the past. They´ve reacted to that "con".
As far as I´m informed there´ll be some models sold as a kit soon. The first is a Dumper, close to herndrik seipt´s

...then rumour says a new excavator.
As far as I can judge, the 944 is a good compromise between performance and looks. Me growing up with liebherr (hard to guess looking at my website ;-)), I can only recommend the 944. In my scratch built one, the pump from frank is running without any problems.
bye
Ulrich
