The metal parts of the model are very good quality with a fine level of detail. The plastic elements are rather less good with the boom sections in particular lowering the overall feel of the model.
Paintwork and graphics are very good on the whole.
Price
The model is a reasonable price for what is offered although it seems to have a more variable level of pricing than most models so the advice is to shop around.
Summary
This a model of contrasts. On the one hand it is very good with the tracks and bodywork being of a high standard. However some of the modelling choices made such as the white thread and the plastic boom sections let the model down somewhat. At least the white thread can be replaced with something black and many collectors will want to do this to make the model look better.
Overall the model will be wanted by crane collectors. There is just a feeling that an opportunity has been missed to create a really good model.
