Available for quite some time and therefore it is high time for this update with the final photos of this unique custom built resin scale model that can be built for you in 1:50 scale:

• Caterpillar 824C Wheel Dozer

This knock out model of the Caterpillar 824C Wheel Dozer will be available in a “Old Highway Yellow” Civil version in very limited numbers.

If you are interested in this hand built scale model or kit from the Caterpillar 824C Wheel Dozer respond by e-mail and I will forward your request. Only then you can be assured that the model is also produced effectively for you. The custom builder does ship worldwide at actual shipping cost and you can pay with PayPal.

I know for sure that many Caterpillar scale model collectors will be very pleased that the Caterpillar 824C Wheel Dozer version will join the Caterpillar 980C series Wheel Loader and Log Loader and do what I just did: ORDER!

Under the name cADSttachements appear regularly exclusive small series of KITS that allow you to add a machine variant or a unique work tool to your Caterpillar collection.

• Caterpillar D7G Track-Type Tractor cabin Kit #59

Ad Gevers contacted CCM models to ask if there was a possibility of releasing a third version of the Caterpillar D7G Track-Type Tractor but was informed there were no plans to release any other versions of the Caterpillar D7G in 1:48th scale. After receiving this information he started the development of Kit #59 which contains one cabin with bracket (resin), two engine protective covers and a towbar (metal) and green/blue cabin glass (plastic).
All this, so that your own Caterpillar D7G Track-Type Tractor with this kit modification will clearly look different from the two Caterpillar D7G scale models previouly released by CCM.
