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.
I was lucky to meet on LinkedIn fellow collector Tim who made in-house, in a very limited edition, a Bucket liner and Cab front walkway kit in Photo etched material to suit the Caterpillar 6090 Excavator scale model made by CCM in 1:48th scale.
If you are also interested in building this custom kit to your Caterpillar 6090FS Mining Shovel scale model you can contact Tim through sending him a PM on his Facebook account.
