Only I worried about one thing, it is on the defects of the models
Please ccm team have more understanding in the quality.

Be sure to request your 992B before they are all spoken for, Mark! Head to https://staging.ccmodels.com/international-orders/ to place your request today! Great suggestions for future models from CCM, thanks!

I Would hope to see this complemented with an early Caterpillar 773, with greedy board style skip in the future. I would like to see for a future release in 1.48 scale, A Caterpillar D8H (46A) with a Caterpillar 435, or 463 draw bar style pull scraper, with wire ropes. Here’s to hoping.

We thought is was about time to do another wheel loader! A vintage Contractor Collection Series would be a great series for any collector, and those are great suggestions for the machines that could make up this series!

For the smaller machines, the size of these machines make them ideal for jobs where maneuverability is key, but presents several challenges when modeling at scale. Releasing the Contractor’s Collection in 1:24 scale has allowed us to achieve the level of detailing and functionality on these models that you have come to expect from Classic Construction Models.

About smaller equipment, I’ve heard modelling them in 1/48 diecast can be difficult maintaining your high detail standards. But there’s demand though.
I agree that for most collectors 1/24 is hard to collect especially in larger amounts and 1/48 brass probably won’t be the solution either.
I’d vote for trying 1/32 scale diecast for the smaller equipment, it’s compatible with farm models too if anyone appreciates that fact, and there are and will be some very nice construction models too in that scale already.
Some suggestions, maybe a kind of vintage contractor collection series: Cat IT 12, 920, 214B FT, 219 LC, 12G, 438, D5B.

Hey Rob,
We love the modern equipment just as much as the vintage machines here at CCM, thanks for the great suggestion to produce a backhoe loader in 1:48 scale!

However there are some younger die hard equipment operators/ enthusiasts that would like to see more modern day equipment in 1/48. Machines like backhoe loaders are hard to come by in high detailed replicas but are present on almost every site. 1/24 models are to costly and hard to display.
