Steve,
I only cut the top part of the front mudflaps and changed the Corgi 5th wheel to one of my usual white medal model, so that I could pin the semi-trailer on the tractor.
modelmaniac,
You have probably noticed that I have some years of painting still "on the shelf", so there is no plan to change the color of the CAT labelled units: I hope to complete their trailers one day and get them a final coat of paint, that's all.
Regards.
Guy

Steve, I have to amend what I stated just above: Universal Hobbies have already produced the WB97S version ( https://www.miniature-construction-world.co.uk/komatsu-wb97s.html ) and plan to get the evolution 8 available soon. So the model shown is certainly an UH product, looking at its black front mudguards. Cheers. Guy

Guy thanks for the information on that Komatsu, I did not realize that they produced a machine like that. I think Q kept that information from me.
