Wolfgang, it looks great! Always enjoy units that are not modeled very often, and you have such an ability to make them look like the real item.

Wow this is another piece of art you have created. You defiantly have a way with metal and this should be a fun model to play with when you’re done.

hallo seilbagger, this "schaufel bagger" looks awsome. i remember, when my parents build their house in the early 80's, we had a seilbagger just like yours in blue. memories and good old times.

Thats correct. Normally the Fuchs 301 was a cable operated machine and the most selled excavator in this time in Western Germany, over 15.000 were built since 1959. In 1965 some of them were built as hydraulic version, like this 301 H.

Very impressive workmanship. Ingenuity with the axles too.

Hallo seilbagger, besser als das original. Sehr detail orientiert, das bringt alte erinnerungen, 32 Jahre her, danke.
