Quality

YCC have maintained their reputation for high quality with this model.  Metal is used almost everywhere and some of the workmanship is very fine indeed.  The paintwork is very good as are the graphics.

Price

This model is relatively pricey for a two axle crane but it is good value for the quality that it offers.

Overall

Kato can be very pleased with this YCC rendition of one of their popular cranes.  Collectors will be equally pleased as this model is one of the most detailed and accurate modelled cranes available.

This is a very high quality model and it easily deserves an 'Outstanding' rating.
