Every now and then I have a play around on the CAT website and last week I noticed that they had done quite a few updates. It would appear that the 390D will now be fitted with a similar paint scheme to the smaller E series machines. Funnily enough it still doesn't sit an E series cab as many of the smaller D series machines have. Anyway, it would appear that Mr Photoshop down at CAT has been busy again. Check out the last few PDF covers from the 385C (2 evolutions) and the 390D (2 evolutions).

Here are a few more images of the 390 with the updated E series paint scheme (all photoshopped too)

If you do have some time to have a look around, its worthwhile, they have updated the product line with new studio shots of all of the machines. Funnily enough the 390D wears the now outdated scheme...

Hopefully the reason there is no 374 pictures is because they are upgrading it to the E series. Remember these pictures?

Ps. It would appear that I have way too much time on my hands. Haha

I don't think you have too much time on your hands Rowan, this could have been done in a couple hours worth of internet looking. I usually spend about 3-4 hours a day on my computer on the internet and sometimes longer depending on what I'm looking for.

Nice catch on the paint scheme thing too, who would have thought a little photo shop and viola a new looking machine!!

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

This is interesting. I really do not like the E series paint scheme... there are no stylistic lines or shapes, just blocks of colour. Whoever is responsible for design at CAT needs their head looked!

I'm sorry.....but there is only one picture in that list that looks 'good' to me, and that is the 385CL Red Line Machine. I know it's not about looks, but I think all the other paint schemes look ugly. The first power edge isn't too bad, but now putting the E-Series scheme on the old style machine is horrible. Just my opinion.....
