Hello once again fellow enthusiasts,
Its been sometime since i last posted on here, been working away to much but have still been collecting along the way. One model I have been fortunate enough to acquire during the last 18 months is a Mammoet livery LR 1750 but unfortunately its missing some pennant lines, 4 x K (short) and 8 x L (long). It appears the previous owner had the YCC metal pennant kit on there but it wasn't supplied with the model. I only received what was left of the plastic ones that weren't misplaced during the conversion.
I have made contact with the previous owner and both they and I are currently seeking replacements through Conrad but given its production ceased so long ago I don't like my chances and would like to go one better for this more than deserving model.
What I am after is a complete YCC metal pennant kit in Mammoet livery (YC 681-1) as the model needs a bit of a birthday. I'm currently masking up the boom connection points and will blacken them out. I have the etched walkways on their way and will replace the sheaves with brass ones.
I have searched the web and exhausted all avenues through retailers as they have all been long sold out and are being told YCC are not filling retailers orders, so I have come to forum for help. I am now hoping a fellow member may have one tucked away and will be willing to part with it or knows where one could be sourced. I know its a long shot but if one doesn't ask, then one will never receive. I am prepared to pay good money plus shipping to Australia but only through Paypal.
Worst case I will have to strip and paint my yellow set which are living on my Franz Bracht livery LG1750 but thats not going to happen and would settle for the plastic version first if Conrad come through with the goods. If anyone is willing to part ways with a new or used but complete set, please send me a PM and I will happily consider all options.
Fingers crossed and thanking someone in advance, I hope......
Regards,
Shane.
