Apara (spelling?) Models from Brazil made a 8K model a few years ago. I have one, and its a nice model. It has a non-functioning angle blade, a drawbar on the rear, and no ROPS. I bought mine about 10 years ago and havent seen to many since. By the way, its 1/50 scale.

Actually it's Arpra Supermini...and it's a D8K.
Might check Buffalo Road Imports

Or DHS Diecast

Or ADM Vintage

Or try your luck on Ebay. There is also the AMT/Matchbox/Ertl D8H plastic kit in 1/25th.
Classic Construction Models made an early D8H in 1/25 but you better have REAL deep pockets if you can find one of those, it usually sells for $2500 plus...

Older equipment like the series H & K D8's or 651B's are extremely hard to find at an affordable price. I've looked for the 651B model for years and have never seen one. Newer models are a dime a dozen.

Good Luck!
