Warren D Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Calling this one done. Last parts finally came in so I got 'er done. CTS PE grille set and interior, lights. Winch and ROPS from Jamie. Aftermarket tracks. Paint is Pollyscale, color custom mixed. For some reason, there is now a slight green tint in the pics. Color is supposed to be yellow, has a touch of orange if anything. Edited October 27, 2022 by Warren D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROPS from Jamie, Grille is Czech Trucks (CTS), might have been from STS. Tracks were off the internet, I won't mention the vendor as they aren't pleasant to deal with. Their website says ships in 7 days. 10 weeks later, nothing. They don't respond to e-mails. Maybe 6 months later you'll get your order.

Jamie was suppose to release some white metal tracks. we were talking about them a while back. he may not have them on his web site. it dont hurt to ask him..i know where Warren is talking about and they are slow at getting u parts unless u know them..

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Looks Amazing!! Those tracks really do make a difference!! It is a shame that the vendor was so difficult. The lights and the roll bars really add to the realism! Excellent work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, though when I was growing up, no real dozer operator would run one with a cab....they thought having protection gave the operator a false sense of security.

gatorincebu Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Really nice looking dozer ! The aftermarket parts do make a huge difference . AS for aftermarket vendors being slow to ship. You might want to consider . That for many of them . Making model parts is not their main job ! And that sometimes we all have to learn how to plan ahead . And not expect to place an order. Expecting it to show up over night Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
