Norscot has released the first photos off their next to release Caterpillar Wheel Loader scale model in their 1:50 Construction Diecast Series:

Caterpillar 938K Wheel Loader # 55228

The Caterpillar 938K Wheel Loader is released by Caterpillar early 2012 and is designed with the new optimized Z-bar loader linkage which delivers the performance and breakout forces of a traditional Z-bar linkage with the parallelism and load handling capability of a tool carrier. The Caterpillar 938K Series Small Wheel Loaders saves 15%-30% versus the “H” Series predecessors with lower engine speeds translating into long engine service life intervals.

The scale model will be, if all goes according to plan, available for sales in the spring of 2014.
