Hi David,

great pics of a great model. Can the dolly also be widened? And if so, could you post some pics of that as I plan to make a Drake trailer in 1/87 scale.
Thanks

Holm


Here is some of the dolly closed and spread plus an under shot.and one with the door open.

David,

Did the model come with the Mcaleese decals already attached? I am waiting for mine to arrive. Awesome looking model. Can wait!

Yes mate what you see is what you get !! fantastic truck for the price.. Having seen the Yellow one i think it shows up the detail even more than the McALEESE one.

Looks real nice David. What are you going to load it with? I am thinking of the CAT 657G for mine.

Not sure just yet !! Still working on that one ..might have a go at making something out of pvc pipes and painting it a rusty typ colour.

Hi David,

Thanks (Also thanks to Gary) for the information about the model.
Honestly there is not on colour or version that I would not have but the Mcalease version is very unique and was the first to be sold out....I guess this tells us something!! I would like to have all of them but my bank account does not stretch that far and my display cabinet is bulging!!

Beautiful model, tfs!

Since this was first introduced I had a hard time figuring out the reversed wheels on the dolly. With David's pics I can see they are spare tires. NOW it makes sense!

Please post some more pics when you get a load on 'er!

Thanks for the dolly pics. The only thing I need to start the model is time.

I like your idea on photography, the truck comparisons in front of the large photo looks like a real rest stop for truckers
Thanks

For your dozer load here is the configuration..below.


This configuration will take a CAT D10 as is, to be road legal, for a CAT D11 you will need to remove the blade and the ripper for it to be road legal.

Jim...I'm not sure, but I was informed that only the ripper and blade were to be removed on the D11.
