The Kibri Demag AC 665 Telescopic crane is very much worth the money. This makes my second crane of this model. As with all Kibri models, this one doe not disappoint. Take your time building the crane. I would suggest lightly sanding the axles on the truck and the grey Hydraulic ram. The crane does lend its self to painted though this is not needed to have a model that one can be proud of. Also don't let the peel and stick decals set you back. Once applied you wont even know they are there. A couple of these on any HO Scale construction site would make it look excellent.
