Footnotes The model was introduced in The crane cab is fixed onto a mechanism which allows both ad500 and the rotation from the transport to the operational position. To see photos of the real machine click here. Femag model also lacks a loop on the front for fixing the hook during transport. Although the pulley block is provided on the tray, the luffing winch is provided in the optional luffing jib kit. Detailing in all aspects of the demaf function is very good with the model only coming up slightly short in some areas such as mirrors and wipers.
Over the fourth axle there are a couple of holes in the main spine beam and into this fits a special piece which holds the counterweight tray during loading and unloading.
The Superlift mechanism is well made with most parts metal including the tie bars. The outriggers are fully working but it is here that there is a problem. Inside, the model is securely packed within a pair of polystyrene trays.
This has the effect of forcing the screw to ‘bite’ and the model has been found to be stable like this even with all wheels off the ground, as in the real machine. The counterweights supplied consist of five left and five right handed blocks. The crane cab is similarly well detailed internally and has excellent remag handrailing. The boom head has a large number of pulleys together with the lugs for attaching the fly jib.
In transport mode the tie bars fold onto lugs fixed to the main boom and the bridle at the boom head clips into position. The initial version of this model was produced in Demag white prior to the takeover by Terex. Although this avoids unsightly turning handles it does make the operation laborious.
A luffing jib was available as a separate accessory. A couple of ladders are fixed to the front and top surfaces have non-slip walking plates. The paintwork is good as are the graphics, although on the review machine some of the graphics work was not perfect. aac500
The whole arrangement looks very good particularly as there are small details cast within the outrigger beams. The outrigger beams are very impressive being two-stage metal. It can be posed in a large number of ways, and this can be expanded even further with the optional luffing fly jib which extends af500 model to a jaw-dropping almost 3m in dsmag.
The review model was undamaged. Overall This model is one of the best looking crane models.

The Superlift is fully working, but needs to be wound up tight to remove any differential slack within the tie bars connected to the base of the jib. The outriggers zc500 are of the typical screw thread type, with a separate plastic pad for each one. The counterweight tray is one solid piece containing space for the luffing winch. Even despite the design flaw in the outriggers the model is recommended.
There is a work around for this problem however which is to remove the screw completely, insert some lengths of cotton into the screw hole and re-insert the screw.
Conrad Demag AC Cranes Etc Review
The AC is an eight axle crane with a capacity of metric tonnes. It is good value for the detail offered. Having said that this is a model for showing in very impressive poses rather than playing with.
Instructions are provided which describe how to string up the Superlift. The loads on the outriggers can get large particularly if the deemag fly jib is attached and the screw jacks are simply not man enough for the job. They hold the boom very well, even with the fly jib, but it takes an act of courage to apply the force to the model needed to extend the cylinders.
Quality This is a high quality crane model which is every bit as impressive as the real machine.
