Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could identify the crane in the picture below. I would like to build it if possible. Does anyone know of a kit or more reference pictures that could be found.
Heres the picture



Thanks
Matt

PS: If the picture doesnt work, its in my gallery.

Hi Matt
This picture looks familiar to me According to the original caption, the crane is a Quickway Model E55 on a Coleman G55 4WD chassis (this crane was also fitted on White, Corbitt or Brockway 6x6 chassis). I've got 2 little drawings of it, and an article about a 1/48 model released by Angego (Quickway crane on a Brockway C666 truck) that I can scan and send to you if you like ...
