D8H Caterpillar dozer


Recommended Posts

This is the AMT/ERTL Bulldozer kit with the following aftermarket parts from PapyHobby. I added the blade cylinder, new tracks, a PE kit and the D8K cab. The 3D printed parts all fit with out any problems but allow for a month or 2 for the parts to arrive. I added a couple hydraulic lines on the ripper and blade cylinders. This is also my first attempt at weathering. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Great D8. The major flaw in this kit is the tracks, the ones you installed are way better than the originals and make all the difference. It's a great build and the weathering adds a lot of realism. The truck and trailer are great too. A really beautiful job.
