Hello all
One more update
This time I went for energy block assembly.
First I cut out the operator's cab and made the transparent windows. That was quite a thing since the pillars around the windows are pretty thin so need to be careful. For installing the windows I uses UHU Extra glue - I really love this glue. Fit of the part is great.
Then I noticed that operation levers are provided by as simple 2d double sided print. So I went hunting for pictures. I could not find anywhere this configuration. This supposed to be Litronic equipped digger, meaning it has two joysticks on the seat armrests.
I wrote a mail to Liebherr representative here in Israel. The guy was kind to reply and promised some pictures after April 29th.
So I continued to assemble the upper part w/o installing the cabin.
I followed the manual step by step only to find that all the parts are really flimsy and connecting them as is will cause warps and misalignments. Cereal box cardboard came to rescue. I reinforced all the sides with cardboard plates and strips. And again I bumped into base plate being too short because I used a thicker paper. Nevermind, I will conceal this later when I will install the cabin
The muffler went along to its place.
Then the whole structure was mounted to the swivel plate of the chassis.
The engine top cover remained unattached since hydraulic lines should enter this compartment.
So this is what I have for now.
