Here's another view of Christophe Lorin's Liebherr R992 excavator. He built this giant Liebherr from a Kibri plastic kit. The kit was the shovel version but Christophe decided to change it to an excavator. The boom came from a 1/50th scale toy which was a Liebherr 974. It fits the 992 perfectly for the 31' monobloc boom. The operating weight is about 140T. Also shown in Photo Gallery 125.
