Im sure this will go over well with our site host...

LATEST ADDITION! Caterpillar D250D WTR [OBC 1:50]

I received from America ​​this latest addition in my collection and directly took it to the photo set:

Caterpillar D250D Watertanker

Under the name Otter Bro Customs (OBC) appear regularly exclusive custom built models that allows you to add another unique replica Caterpillar model to your collection.
I'm very lucky that I can add another small (I mean the scale!) masterpiece to my Caterpillar collection.

This unique one of a kind scale model is made by using a Caterpillar D250E Articulated Dump Truck and a rare resin Water Tanker Kit from OHS and is completely custom made by OBC in scale 1:50.

Enjoy the first photo! Soon I will add more pictures from the scale model, machine 1:1 and background information in the category Articulated Dump Trucks

So stay tuned for more!

BouwmachineWeb.com is the exclusive dealer for The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Therefore I think that Chuck has no problem with me sharing this link to all the European visitors on this unique forum.

Man; the nerve of some people. We just went through this about three months ago! You may want to review this:

Everyone is a direct competitor for us. The world is a lot smaller now than when we started 15 years ago. eBay did not even exist then! DHS is an international dealer and we sell all over the world. I invite customers from other countries to check out our pricing while the US Dollar is so weak - our sales overseas are very strong! With taxes and freight, I agree it is more difficult for non-USA customers to purchase from us but, believe me, it happens every day!

So the Liebherr Shop IS a competitor, especially when they have the ability to get models before the collector community does. That is their option they are footing the bill - but the model dealers don't have to like it. We also get unhappy when an OEM slashes prices to move model stock and we are sitting with inventory - which happens too often...

So I am sticking by my original comments, I would prefer not to see competitive links to purchase items that we carry posted on our forum. I like to believe we run a good shop with fair pricing and, if someone who uses the forum wants to purchase something, they can get it from us.


Also; how does this classified with links to other dealers not get deleted??

NEWS FLASH! MEGA Watertanker Set

Within our group of Caterpillar collectors are builders who built various custom versions of Watertankers.

This gave us the idea to see if there might be need to bring a complete set, consisting of spray heads and a spray gun, based on the brand MEGA, the specialist from America for over 30 years and market leader in the field of Watertankers built on the chassis of existing OEM construction machines.

MEGA Watertanker Set

The MEGA Watertanker Set will as yet consist of four spray heads and a spray gun and casted from white metal material. The set can be applied to an Caterpillar Articulated Dump Truck, Off-highway Truck or Wheel Tractor-Scraper.

We are looking forward for your reactions,

Gertjan, Ad and Wouter
