I found this yesterday on the german Norscot general distributor´s website.

It shall be released in October.
Nice model,but I wish they gave it a quick coupler like the 330d.Also the rivets could be a little smaller.But overall it´s much better than the 320c.

Looks nice, has cab lights and might even have a opening sun roof. But whats with the strip running down the center of the boom, is it to hide the gap?

Might be a pre-production model.
remember the 793D?

Stop complaining , it look's to be a great , model. I think Norscot will give it some painted rivet's. Just look at the U/C and the bucket you can see the detail this model is going to bring.

Oh ok good.... The HYD. lines look a bit thin to me. But over all it looks like its going to be a hit when it comes out!

This photograph is likely what is called a "Pre - Production Sample". Very much like the photographs of the Sword Kenworth and Mack that you see on this website. Those are NOT EXACTLY what you will receive when the model is done. The only reason you see them at all, is so that the manufacturer can begin taking orders and to show you a close representation of what is to come. I could very well be wrong about the 320 and it could be finished. BUT, I would tend to think that Norscot will continue the trend with painted rivets. (LET'S HOPE SO ANYWAY!) That model does look sharp if you ask me... and if the rivets get painted... that will be one nice model! And for UNDER $50.00???? That's pretty sweet if you ask me. ... Prt

ok, I have to laugh yes it probably is the pre production model. But seriously what is it with norscot and their light defeciency, one model doesn't have lights on the cab, the next model has lights on the cab but not the boom. Gonna be interesting.

It should probably be as good as the 330dl with he painted rivits and maybe a quick coupler.

Lets hope it is pre production even then its a nice model and I will most likely buy one. U/C looks very detailed and the tracks look even better.

That's got lots of promise.
