Default Re: Komatsu PC700 Excavator unboxing and review

Some minor scale updates to the PC700.
But first a little history. My only feedback to The Mother RC Construction was the rather unappealing rectangular shape engine hood cover. Paolo explained the reason for the rectangular shape was the result of making everything out of steel. I asked him if he can make an option with only the engine hood cover printed in 3D plastic. A month later he posted on shapeways That's customer service at its finest. Now for some pictures:
I had a local metal shop laser cut the new steel plate to match the 3d printed engine hood's curves. I'm keeping the original as backup.

I also plan on adding hinges so I can open up the engine hood like the 1:1 scale.
