They really look fantastic! I'll absolutely have to get them both. Let's hope I can afford them when they're out..

models are fantastic, although I see an error in the rear wheel of cat 637E
the rim back the wheel, should be equal to the front wheel
Look at the real machine
I hope they rectify

the same was said of the cat D9H And look what happened

pray that these models go well,

Give it up. No body likes a cry baby. If you don't like it than sell the damn thing and move on. I think we all get the point ccm did a bad job on the d9h

Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Neil, the fuel tanks for 631E/37E are all on the rear of the scraper bowl and with the 37 the rear engine tank is on top of the cross tube, i have had a look at that tank and it is shaped correctly as per the real machine.

If you are talking about the tank on the RHS front of the tractor that is actually the hydraulic tank and i have checked it again and it does slope to the rear slightly on the real machine, it is definently not vertical.

The rear wheels were a simple misfit at the factory and will be correct on the real deal when they get them done.

I realize that these are samples and I stand corrected but I did some research and found that the E- series as far back as 1986 had the pyramid CAT on black decals fitted and later the red stripe was added at the bottom of the black - the last pacman decals appeared on the D-series.

Thanks for clearing that up - I thought there could be a good explanation for this.

I wonder if they will be doing a 633 elevating scraper as well? I know it wasn't an extremely popular machine, but since they already have the tractor...

Neil, when Cat changed from Highway yellow to Cat yeallow to get the lead out (1979) there was a slight shade change and i recall there propaganda at the time saying it would not be very noticeable vs the old colour. It wasnt till around 88 when they went to water based enamel that then turned the colour into what some people refer to as honey or mustard yellow so the first 631E coming out with pacman decals would have worn the yellow closer to the old highway colour so the models will reflect that vintage and this i would say will hold true for any future models in the series that are in that 1980 to 88 range. This will also benefit the collectors by having same shade models on the shelf.

An exception maybe the McAninch D9L/631E combo as this machine is based of what they have done more so than what Cat did with each individual model that makes up this pair, same holds true for the decals as it will be shod with the red beltline style decals.

Here is a picture from Caterpillars service training bulletin from when the 630E family machines were released showing a 631E at the Tucson Proving grounds and you can see it was clearly shod with pacman style decals.

Some just b*t&h about these models and should just be cutting edge and router bit changers. I've had a home for these girls for over a year and I will wait. Thanks CCM and looking forward to them.
