Nanofaktura is run by Marcin originating from Poland, has been making very realistic resin kits of road construction vehicles, tractors, and trucks in 1:87 scale for years. You can communicate excellently with Marcin in English through email or phone. This year, they also started producing Caterpillar earthmoving models in 1:50 scale, allowing us to add a number of missing scale models to our (Caterpillar) Scraper collection:
When a Caterpillar Wheel Tractor-Scraper is configured to pull a massive water wagon or tanker instead of an earthmoving bowl, Caterpillar officially calls the final configuration a Water Pull.
To facilitate this, Caterpillar sells the front tractor portion independently through Caterpillar OEM Solutions as a Partial Wheel Tractor-Scraper (or a "tractor-only" power unit). Third-party manufacturers (like for example Ground Force Worldwide or Mega Corp) then attach the specialized tank trailing unit to complete the Water Pull machine.
This knockout "Golden Oldies" scale model of the Caterpillar 631C Water Pull in 1:50th scale is being produced as a kit in a very limited edition for (Caterpillar) Earthmoving Equipment collectors. #musthave
