D8H Caterpillar dozer

[Mopar - D]

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 finished  job, Dan, and I enjoyed the build log too. Question - where did you source the decals?

Great looking dozer.

Looks good. Where did you get that trailer? Do not think i have seen it.

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.
