Theo Gijsbers sent us this picture of an FKL (Theo thinks it stands for Fahrzeug Kran Leicht, or light vehicle crane) and is a Liebherr crane conversion for the German Army. The model is from HO-Military depot, and is resin with etched parts. Theo painted it in non-military colors as it might be in use by a contractor who bought the machine second hand from military surplus. He added miniature steel cable (from ROCO) and a mini chain for the hook.
