That 24 looks horrible with those stupid tires on it. I would not pay $25 for that machine. Why can we not get a good set of tires that look more realistic, just like in the picture provided? I guess to much to ask Jason

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Can't believe the clever guys concerned with scale models at Cat approve such stupid ugly tires for the 24H and M the second time around. But no train smash - Ertl or Norscot Bell or Deere D40D or 400D tires look good on the graders. Just put in some hot water for a while and fit them. 24M "lego" tires can then be used on smaller models for hi flotation.
374 looks perfect. Thanks Cat and Norscot.

The handrails on the access platforms of the 24M look plastic too....  Missing is the front indicator lights that are mounted on the very front of the machine (see above picture) The tyres on the 24M need an update to the current design.... It is worth delaying this model to fix these details!

I'm not big on graders anyway, but the ex looks pretty good. It would be nice to see a demo version or something other than a regular bucket.

I for one like them. A lot! But as far as the tires on the 24M, they look the part to me.   Thanks Norscot! I am looking forward to the rest! - Chris

Tim, you know as well as I do Norscot is not CCM and fine quality is not as high a priority , just look at the 993K, though the 374 does look damn fine, I'll just get a couple of cheap Ertl ADT's and take the tires off them as Dolphin said for my 24H and the M when I get it

Gav, we just got a new batch of 24Ms and they came equipped with XRs on them. I didn't even know they were available for a 24.
