Heavy equipment

[Guest Markus355]

looking for excavators, dozers, FE loaders. My little Bro in law is doing a k123 kenworth, and were thinking a lowboy is the only trailer thatd look "right" with it. and itll need a load

AMT did a 1960s Caterpiller D-8, it has some quirks but is a nice kit.

First gear does some 1/25 diecast construction equipment, they are very nice but they are not cheap.

This is the AMT D8. I had to build the ROPS cab, the kit is of an older open top dozer.

If you want to go the diecast route, SpeCast, First Gear and Joal and others have 1/25th scale construction equipment. The bottom row in the displaycase are all diecasts.

L-R Cat IT18F loader by Joal (They also made an918 loader too)

IH TD24 cable blade by SpeCast

Allis TC21 cable blade by First Gear

IH TD25 by First Gear

IH TD24 side boom by SpeCast

Bantam Crane by SpeCast

The top row has a scratch built Sandy Grael crusher, A bantam swing shovel by SpeCast and a Cat D8 cable blade modified from the AMT kit

SpeCast also makes a 1/25th scale Bantam cable hoe

Thanks

well theres also the John Deere backhoe that ERTIL put out back in the 70's or the D8 dozer they had as well...but tryin 2 find some of theses kits are hard at times an sometimes very $$$ ... a nice van trailer would really look great behinsd it down 2 match the truck...

seems either that excavator or the amt dozer is the ticket. now just gotta get him to save up some money to get one
