Heres the latest custom I've turned out. The sweeps and C frame and cyds were built out of brass. I'll post more pics and get another custom up soon. Enjoy!

The machines are close, but have alot of small differances, air cleaner location, exaust location, very differant operators station, the blade lift cylinders need to be shorter to be a D8 also the nose would also need to be more rounded to be a D8, also hyd. tank placement and stlye and the battery box placement and I think the fuel tank is smaller on a D8 plus they didnt have the circles on the side Also the ROPS I havent seen that style on any Cats, but that doesnt really mean no one out that kind on a D8, it doesnt look horriable but there are SMALL differances that make it noticable, please take this constructivly

diecast_dirtboy, In a quick Google search, this is the closest I could find that could have been what it seems you wanted to create. Even though the image is small, you can still make a valid comparison. The real thing;  and yours;
