I received one of these from DHS. They are very nice models. Mine had a couple minor paint glitches that were confusing to me considering the excellent packaging.
The drop axle raises and lowers which is a nice touch. Nice Cummins engine. It kind of steers. Choice of straight or curved exhaust. The tips are in the box.
Overall very nice. A vast improvement over the Norscot Cat trucks.

I would like to see them produce the HX520 as a dump truck also. Diecast Masters made both trucks as tractors so maybe in the future we will see another dump truck.
I like the east coast style dump body. I recall older posts referring to the Norscot CT660 as having a replica of a J&J lightweight steel dump body and this is the same dump body.
It does look like a J&J body minus the asphalt lip.

I see that "other" sources are offering different color combinations for the dumps. Will DHS be getting a color of their own from DM?
