I believe it was a First Gear TD25.

Can we have some more information? Are these custom builds you did, or refurbishments on existing models?

Thank you very much guys!
This model was made using two other.
One D8K ARPRA and one TD25 First Gear.
I spent much time to make it and two nice models, but I like the D155A very much!
It's not easy or cheap model, but is really nice to see!!!

Frusso: You have a great collection and great ability. Your models are so clean too. Keep up the good work. The Komatsu and scraper look fantastic. You really love Arpra for obvious reasons!! CAW

Thank you very much Quinella!

I have more, D9G and D8H with cable angle blade, D8H with ripper, D8K with ripper and some other models.

I like ARPRA models, but I love CCM models! I just don't have money to buy them anymore. The dollar value increase to much here!!!

Very nice project. You can't even tell that you used the two base models.

Frusso: What CCM pieces are you looking for? Some are not so badly priced. You used to do customizing for people. Why not trade out? CAW

Quinella and Dex. I can do more D155A. I just need more D8Ks and TD25s.

The CCMs that I would like to have are really expansive. The Bucyrus 88B Series I Shovel, D9T with ripper, 637 push and pull... impossible to buy.

However, we can trade for other models too.

I just need know if any of you have the D8K in bad condition. Here I can buy some in great condition for $130. The TD25 is the problem...

Chuck help me a lot to buy models in USA, but now is hard to receive anything from USA without pay for importation taxes...

Frusso: What is the difference in price in the Arpra CAT 621F and the R models. The prices on Ebay are from $170.00 to $350.00. Looks much like the same scraper. And on your D8K, mkdco used to have some. Did you contact him? How much are your duty taxes for a TD25? CAW

Dear Quinella, all ARPRA models are the same just with different decals. The D8N and R has a light on hidraulic system.
The 621R and F are the same model. Some of them comes with yellow light too. no more differences.
I got many kits with MKDO on past. Some are perfect, but ARPRA kits are not so good as the already done models. Some kits has problems on right truck. It's bended and the model do not looks nice after already done. After have some problems with kit I usually get old damaged models to make my modified D8s.
I forgot about importation taxes from TD25. Usually 97,5% from model price declared value plus shipping. That's the cause I avoid to buy models on stores. However, if you really want one D155A call me no PM and I'll try talk with you about this problem and find a good way to trade with you!
