Hi all,

I made some progress with my M1084/M1095 combo. Now I wonder if the Material Handling Crane on the truck is the same as on the M977 HEMTT. I checked the Italeri and the HobbyFan crane and both seem a little bit to long.
Any informations are helpful.

TIA
Hans-Hermann

The M1084 MHC looks very similar to the M977 one.

Salut Pascal,

a helpful link but I look for the precise designation of the crane to check the Grove crane site. The model crane is 74 mm wide and the truck is only 70 mm. I guess I have to shorten the crane by 4 mm.

Merci
Hans-Hermann
