Vario?

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

[Lil Giants]

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!

[Claus]

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?

[Actros4160]

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.

Regards,
Bernd

Fumotec's hometown annual meet in Burgsinn this wkend.

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

[Espeefan]

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.

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

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.

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 .

[MoRockN]

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

I've tried, no luck

[Lil Giants]

I spoke to Frank (via email) a few weeks ago, his 1st production run sold out very quickly. He's a busy fella, continues to work for Vario-Helicopters, plus design/offer construction model kits from his own one man business... doubtful he'd have time to build for customers too.

That's true Joe. I might just have to wait and see if any other companies will come out with one. I'm very happy with my Liebherr from THS and hope they come out with one.
