In the past, this has always been a feature on bucket grills for any CCM model (as long as it’s real life counterpart featured the same). I realize these are just pre-productions samples. That said, I would like to know if the actual model “will” feature see through grills; instead of just making the entire bucket a single cast in order to save $.
The lack of grill perforations “will” be a deal breaker for me. I was planning on purchasing both of these 988 models through an on-line retailer I do business with. The reason collectors pay the “much” higher price for a CCM model is it always has had (at least in the past) these type of realistic features. Without them, I might as well pay the much cheaper price for a couple of Diecast Masters’ CAT loaders.

On a parting note….when will the 350’s be going into production ? I’ve heard everything from- there were issues with the casting and therefore will not be out until late spring of 2022; to- due to a lack of pre orders, these models are longer scheduled for production. Can you give me an answer either way. It would be appreciated, as I try to plan out which models I’m going to buy months ahead of time.

It would be nice if you sold seperate tire kits for both so you can swap tires. As i would have preferred the V edge rock bucket version with rubber tires and my friends 988B had the proper V edge wear plate package on the bucket. But this seems that it hasn’t so maybe also sell an additional detailing kit? Thanks for another great model
