hi everyone, i know this is off-topic, but since this forum doesn't seem to have a separate section for models or such, i'll just ask here and hope that you won't mind too much i'm trying to look for a 1:50 model of a P&H omega crane. i was wondering if anyone here either had one they would sell, or knew where i might be able to look for one. thanks to lashlander for suggesting that i try dhsdiecast.com and admvintage.com, i'll keep an eye out on those sites. also looking on ebay, and checking whatever websites i run into, but they never seem to have these. does anyone have any suggestions? i was originally going to buy a lego and paint it, but this is heck of a lot better :b (it's a present for my dad) it has to be a p&h omega, not grove. for sentimental reasons. thank you
The model section. Here are a couple of places to look. http://dhsdiecast.com/ They have a forum too. http://www.constructionscalemodels.com/ -Buffalo Road Imports. Also look up Diecast Direct, 3000Toys, or do a search on Google. Hope this helps, Alan627b
difficult to find i briefly checked the sites you've mentioned just now, and i've had no luck. i saw one on ebay not too long ago, but it was in the uk. ended at 15gbp, and would've cost an extra 24gbp to ship it here.. got a reply from adm, and it seems like they're still sorting out their inventory. i don't know why, but whenever i search anywhere, i always get results for a grove, a very similar-looking model, but almost always nothing when i search for omega. (sorry, i don't know cranes, i'm just trying to find a model) any idea why..?

You might try calling Buffalo Road, Brandon Lewis will probaly be able to help in finding one. They are good people to deal with. If it is a model of a real machine primarily made in Europe, you might contact these folks. http://www.miniature-construction-world.co.uk/ Alan627b
