This week I received from the IMC Models this next addition by Diecast Masters in their 1:50th scale diecast "High Line Series" in my collection and today I had some time and took it to the photo set:

• Caterpillar D6 XE LGP “Next Gen” Dozer with VPAT Blade #85554

The new Caterpillar D6 Dozer also announced as the "Next Generation Design" or short “Next Gen” Caterpillar Dozer is the successor to the "T" Series in 1:1th scale, but because Caterpillar has changed his machine type numbering and stopped adding the successor letter it just will be released as the "D6" Series. The new Caterpillar D6 XE model is the world’s first elevated sprocket dozer with an electric drive system.

My first impression: the Caterpillar D6 XE LGP Dozer has a detailed cab interior, including "Bob" the operator. Authentic Cat Machine Yellow paint. Finishing touch are the functional Caterpillar VPAT Blade with realistic push arm blade movements and rolling metal tracks. Presented in the “High Line Series Packaging” Collectible, full-color printed metal box, including machine photos and specifications.

The two Diecast Masters Caterpillar D6 "Next Gen" Dozers also have a world first because they are the very first Caterpillar scale models equipped with the new Caterpillar "Modern Hex" trade dress.

Enjoy the first photos! Curious for more? I have added the complete review with more pictures from the scale model, machine in 1:1 and background information in the category Dozers
