Last Friday I received from a very good friend in America this latest addition in my collection made by Classic Construction Models (CCM) and directly took it to the photo set:
This die-cast scale model is made in a limited edition of only 783 pieces in 2014 By CCM in scale 1:48. There is also a version equipped with a closed cabin and a ripper.
The Caterpillar 983B Standard version Track Loader scale model features an fully articulated bucket, lift arms, and hydraulics and the track assemblies are completely functional with free-rolling sprockets, rollers, and metal track links. This version has an open ROPS, a general purpose bucket and counterweight. The scale model is packaged in a deluxe gift box and comes with a signed certificate. I'm the happy collector with in possession #700.
New feature! CCM has changed their packaging into a very sturdy hard carton box! Very good development. Keep them coming those models! Soon I will add the complete review with more pictures from the model, machine in 1:1 and background information in the category Track Loaders So stay tuned for more!
