Really cool scratchbuild project. You gotta make one to know how much time is required for these tiny pieces of collection. But really worth the work. That one would deserve to be submit to Tonkin or CCM and eventually put into production. I'm sure it'd be popular. Bravo again  Stephane

Baggermodelle/Daniel seems to be dreaming as this model is not listed from any dealer I can see anywhere in the world! I think some people have forgotten that we're still waiting on models announced long ago?
I'd really like to get my hands on a few of those MH3049 wheel/tire assemblies for wheel loader projects!

I agree digggerr, like say the D6R. And what ever happen to the attachments for the K series loaders they were coming out with? Haven't heard any news or any mention of them.

Which one are you referring to? I know for a fact Tonkin have a 627K on the way and I am told it is very, very nice. There was a small announcement some time back. As to other releases not hitting the stores yet, pffft I learned to get over that a long time ago, what you have to remember is it will be yours for eternity once you get it, patience is a virtue with this stuff.

Being an ole buggy skinner, I'm going to have to agree with kwabbus, Patrick C & Gavin that its a gaurd off of 627, its obviously in a prototype from, so it could be years before we see the real thing, what else is new. Just my 1.5 cents.

The missing hydraulic lines and carrier at the pivot are what I noticed first. Caterpillar stock photo  and  And; while it might be possible that the routing of the apron and ejector lines on the model is a new Caterpillar design change, the remaining lines need replicated.
