Custom scale model builder Ad Gevers has recently finished his next project developing and building a Caterpillar D9E Plow Tractor "van Damme" by using the Caterpillar D9E Track-Type Tractor from RR Models in 1:50th scale.

It is our goal for the coming period in the "Making of...a Caterpillar D9E Plow Tractor van Damme" to show you how this custom model has been achieved.

Ad will share his building skills through its construction photos with little notes to guide us through his progress. Gradually it shows the making of a unique model of the Caterpillar D9E Plow Tractor "van Damme"

Today I have added the fourth update of the "The making of ..." This episode the pictures taking by Ad show you the making of hydraulic pump & tank and the engine of the "van Damme" machine.

Enjoy reading & watching!
