Swamp Dog Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Anthony, I totally agree, it is cast from a toy, which in fact you can buy for less than $30, so why buy a resin one.... yes, when it did come out a lot of people did jump on it, including me, but when it was realised it was just a toy.... here is what the machine was cast from This is the KFS kit and like Anthony said, apples and oranges, the KFS kit has many white metal parts, great photo etch , great decals, and is quality castings, no flash, bubbles or problems assembling it, I would rather spend the extra buying this kit (KFS) as you get what you pay for........ quality THANKS TONY...

Old Albion Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Tony, Very impressive project, I don't know how I missed this one! The KFS kits certainly build into fine models. I have a couple of the KFS Michigan loading shovels to build some day. Just might have to get one out and start getting some ideas together.

Thanks Dave, I have just brought another original cat kit, this one will be super detailed, as a demo machine, with opening panels, I am going to make all the panels in fibreglass so the doors are thin and light, and add all the hydraulic and engine detail, can feel a 3 year project coming on and yes I would like to see what you come up with for the Michigan, Warren Kostick has converted 2 now, log loader, and a rubbish compactor, both into Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Caterpillar should be thankful that people are making models of their stuff. So should freightliner. It's free advertising for Petes sake. The prostar would be a good base for a cat truck here in australia. Kenworth was good to Nigel (auslowe) when he did their T904. I digress. Great job Tony! Are you still building that 1/16 kenworth that is satin black in colour? Been looking out for it. Cheers Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckyr Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Who would I get a hold of or what website to get a model like this one? http://www.kitformservices.com/KFS will offer any discontinued resin kit if he gets a minimum of 50 non refundable deposits for any one subject.Who is serious?

Swamp Dog Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) this is what the New Ray toy can look like when you put a little work into it..i cut open the door and back window, added hyd. lines, added hand rails, mirrors and changed tracks..all for less than a bill..

It's free advertising for Petes sake. Big companies like that don't need the free advertising. The model industry is pretty small on the grand scale of things. Getting 'advertising' isn't worth their time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
