Thanks. I don't usually focus on the techniques used to make a model (or in this case graphics) as I prefer to consider the finished item and the clarity of graphics. I also find it hard to tell sometimes which techniques are used! For the 1800 the major graphics are all sharp and clean, and I cannot see any obvious signs of transfers having been used. All I can suggest is you look at the detailed photos on www.CranesEtc.co.uk and use those as a guide as to whether a model meets your expectations.

First of all, I must thank you for replying to my question. I thoroughly enjoy your video reviews and witty commentary, but the fact that you take the time to write thoughtful replies to any random person who asks a question on your RU-vid videos makes me a star in my book :) On topic now: I appreciate your forthrightness and agree that sometimes it is hard to tell whether graphics are printed (tampo etc) or decals. Poorly applied decals do show up rather easily. The transparent back layer being visible at the right angle of light incidence, especially at the decal border, is a dead giveaway. I personally dislike decals because they are essentially a sticker applied to the model, and thus not as refined a manufacturing technique as actual paint layers (as in tampo printing). The preference for tampos is not just a matter of taste, but also because decals have a higher chance of degrading over time (yellowing, cracking, and just plain peeling off). I will have a close look at your review photos to see if the graphics show signs of being decals. This may all be a moot point anyway, since as luck would have it when I decide to seriously start collecting construction diecast and select this model as a first purchase it is sold out everywhere :( Cheers, and thank you again for your wonderful reviews :)

Thanks again. I hope the reviews are helpful. YCC Models are high end, usually made in limited numbers, and they tend to sell well. The Schmidbauer as an anniversary model was destined to sell out fast.

Thank you so much for replying about the graphics! I'll check out MSW Modelle :)

This is covered in FAQs on the website: www.cranesetc.co.uk/reference/reference.html

.... but did yours come in a very large box with foam padding and red ribbons to safely remove the boom too?

Some shops are listed here: www.cranesetc.co.uk/shoppingmall/mall.htm

Dealers: www.cranesetc.co.uk/shoppingmall/mall.htm

Best to look on the Cranes Etc website and choose one that you like.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't have the time and resources to do it.

OK, that's fair. :) I'd just like to let you know that I appreciate the amount of real world information you provide in the videos you make - for me, that's the best part of this channel really, the amount of things I learn about the real machines as you point out how this feature or that feature works etc, and what the equipment is used for. Sure, the models are spectacular as well, but that's because you only review the good stuff. :)

Many thanks. I try my best to make a nice video.

It is made by YCC.

Thanks. Subtitles corrected now.

Sorry, but I think it sold out last year.

Probably sold out now. Dealers: www.cranesetc.co.uk/shoppingmall/mall.htm

GP18 FEPASA he buy some models and some models he borrow from Dealers for the review .

*Thanks for the awnser !*

I think ehattons make railway models. Cranes Etc does not cover the model railway sector at the moment.

*They have some logistics trucks, and your channel also review them, to a example if you like to see them just look for Foden DG Ehattons, and thanks for your awnser.*

Thanks, but that is N gauge. I usually focus on 1:50 scale for trucks and machines.

Yzr_ Mx15 of course beause U can also use it as a LG 1550 With the right boom
