I sometimes really like the B-Model more and build and Display that instead of the A-Model like i did with 8070 and 8053. So related to the Topic: As far as known there will be a Flatbed for the Merc, any News on Crane B-Model?

There is a 1 wide new cylinder that extends the upper arm. On the gearbox i think you got it all according to the videos.

Sadly i do not have one of those small Turntables at hand here but looking at the pictures on bricklink i also can see something like that (first thougth it is a light reflex).

I really love your shuttle. Specially the little sattelite is so cool.

I see. You assume because we cannot see any grey line under the black part on top (just cheked with my Unimog). Could possibly be and would be at least an improvement. Nevertheless i´d like to have a bigger one also.

I totally agree, fasterthanlight. Looks just like the normal turntable to me. But who knows, i wear glasses

Hi there! I'd like to take this topic to jump in an introduce myself. My name is Christian and i'm from Germany. I'm 33years and visting and reading here some time now since i droped back into LEGO. I read this topic today and since i get me the 8043 last weekend and had the same feeling, i did already a Mod of this generally great model, i want to share my opinion (and if i do not mess up also some pictures ;-)) As i had the very old 8851, which was one of my first models, i thougth this bucket will fit perfect. And after attaching it to the 8043, i think i was right. Have a look how good it fits regarding scale and overall looks. Hope the images show it good enough. greets ComMix BTW: the trailer in the back is a Wip of one of my first MOC's i'm working on.
