Latest addition Caterpillar D3 Dozer [Diecast Masters 1:50]


At the end of October I received this latest addition in the "High Line Series" from Diecast Masters in my collection and today I had some time and took it to the photo set:

Caterpillar D3 Dozer #85673

Obviously I am very happy with this latest scale model of the Caterpillar D3 Dozer because it is actually the first under license released in 1:50th scale model within the Caterpillar D3 Dozer Series. TOP CHOICE!

Enjoy the first photos! Curious for more? I have added the complete review with more pictures and a YouTube movie from the scale model, machine in 1:1 and background information in the category Dozers

Arrived at the end of November and have now taken the time to post the first photos of this custom addition from Gertjan's collection:

Caterpillar 826C Landfill Compactor with CARON Semi-U Trash Blade

This knock out model of the Caterpillar 826C Landfill Compactor with CARON Semi-U Trash Blade is released in a “New Caterpillar Yellow” Civil version in very limited numbers. Definitely a MUST HAVE next to the previously released standard Caterpillar 826C Landfill Compactor.

Enjoy the first photo! Curious for more? I have added the complete review with more pictures from the Caterpillar 826C Landfill Compactor with CARON Semi-U Trash Blade version 1:50th scale model in in the category Compactors.

Worked on a lot of land fill equipment. 826C was a popular machine around here. Changed a lot of those CARON wheel spikes. Don’t miss it all to much. Nice model!

The Caterpillar 330C LME Excavator in 1:50th scale was released by Replimach in 2022 as a custom scale model.

This custom Caterpillar 330C LME Excavator in 1:50th scale has the Caterpillar 330D Excavator from Norscot as donor base. You understand: A definitely MUST HAVE!

Very happy and honored to add the Caterpillar 330C LME Excavator to my Caterpillar 330 Series.

Diecast Masters will be present for the fifth time with a her booth on a new location Hall 7A, A-31 at the International Toy Fair aka Spielwarenmesse held from Wednesday, February 1ste up to February 5th, 2023, in Nuremberg, Germany.

What can you expect?

We all naturally hope for some hand samples, prototypes, or even better approved Caterpillar scale models of the newly announced 2023 diecast Masters Collection!!
This year, for the first time, on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th February, the Spielwarenmesse 2023 will hold two "Open Days", which will be accessible to everyone.

MiniMovers will definitely visit the fair with some friends, so stay informed of the latest developments via the Spielwarenmesse 2023 event.
