Good day, Unfortunately, I'm not so good in English that I have to use google for it. I want to build scale models of Hydrocon cranes. However, I lack drawings, sketches or the like for this. Records for 2, 3, or more page views. Can you help me with this?! It should be the Hydraulic Mobile Crane Hydrocon "Clansman" and the Hydrocon "Swordsman". I would appreciate your support and remain Kind regards Mario PETER MANY THANKS FOR YOUR MESSAGE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DON'T HOLD ANY OTHER DRAWINGS RELATING TO HYDROCON CRANES. CAN AQNYONE ELSE HELP?
