Within our group of Caterpillar collectors are builders who built various custom versions by using standard scale models as a donor for their custom project.

So I was lucky to meet on the Model Show Europe 2017 in Ede fellow collector Lorenzo who made in-house, in a very limited edition, a custom upper body of the Caterpillar 320D LRR in 1:50th scale.

• Caterpillar 320D LRR Hydraulic Excavator

This highly detailed custom scale model, made of resin material, is combined with the matching cabin protection and by then using the boom and the undercarriage of the donor Caterpillar 323D Hydraulic Excavator (a 320D is also an option) from Norscot in scale 1:50th will be soon by Gertjan for me transformed into a realistic replica of this "reduced tail swing" machine.

If you are also interested in building this custom model let me know through info@minimovers.nl and I can forward your request to my Italian friend.
