Cat D8H Dozer

[Warren D]

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.

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.

great job on the cat . The aftermarket tracks make all the difference. I wish round 2 would update this kit.

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..

Very nice!!

Warren your D8 Cat looks awesome with your Brockway. 

[DRIPTROIT 71]

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!!

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.

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

Thanks, maybe some light wear, enough to rub the paint off the blade and tracks!
