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:

• Caterpillar 983B Ripper version Track Loader

This die-cast scale model is made in a limited edition of only 983 pieces in 2014 By CCM in scale 1:48. There is also a standard version with an open ROPS and without a ripper.

The Caterpillar 983B Ripper version Track Loader scale model features an fully articulated bucket, lift arms, and hydraulics. The full cab is accessible through opening doors, and the track assemblies are completely functional with free-rolling sprockets, rollers and metal track links. This version includes a functional Ripper which can be positioned realistically. The scale model is packaged in a deluxe gift box and comes with a signed certificate. I'm the happy collector with in possession #722.

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!
