I just stumbled across this model by accident. Looks really great! I don't speak Italian, so I used Google translate on the text, from what I can understand is the ACCO model scratchbuilt by the poster himself. The D575 model standing next to it is a Kibri model he has modified and detailed himself.



Link to the source, with three more pics.

Wow! Very impressive! At 1/87 that some fantastic work! I'd be curious to see pictures of this in progress.

The tracks are on backwards though Shhh

EDIT: Just found the building process, breath taking! http://img850.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=dscn1945j.jpg

Great looking model! Some time ago, I remember finding an Italian site that was offering a 1/87 scale kit for both the Acco Dozer and the Acco Grader. I wonder if this is who built the masters for those kits?

Oh, and Antho, the tracks are not on backwards.

Cool model nice detail look at the visibility out of the ACCO windows compared to the 575 which looks
too low slung to see out of even with the offset !
