Jeff Dean - Classic Construction Models — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 18:48:45 +0000

Announcing the latest model to join our ever-expanding collection of museum-quality replicas, the D8 2U from brass in 1:24 scale. Standing at approximately 9.6″ long x 5.6″ wide x 3.6″ tall, this highly-detailed model will capture the attention of Caterpillar enthusiasts and scale model collectors alike.

Areas of exceptional detailing include the operator’s stations, complete with foot pedals and control levers as well as an accurately depicted instrumentation panel. An open engine bay will reveal even more details to the observant as minute as fuel injectors, oil and fuel lines and pulley belts which adds to the realistic appearance.

Attached to the front of this machine and controlled by the No. 24 Cable Control system is a 5.6″ wide 8S straight blade. Mounted on the rear is the No. 25 Double Drum Cable Control.

The undercarriage of the model consists of individually linked, free-rolling tracks wrapped around drive sprockets and idlers.

Each one of these incredible scale reproductions is hand-crafted from hundreds of perfectly reproduced parts, painted in period correct colors with markings and warning labels providing the finishing details – all of which has been approved by the manufacturer for accuracy.

Includes a signed and serial-numbered spec brochure reproduction.

In the sense that a truly great model can be studied for hours and newly discovered details continue to impress, this model lives up to that expectation. Areas of exceptional detailing include the operator’s stations, complete with foot pedals and control levers for both tractors as well as an accurately depicted instrumentation panel. An open engine bay will reveal even more details to the observant as minute as fuel injectors, oil and fuel lines and pulley belts which adds to the realistic appearance.

Attached to the front of this machine and controlled by a cable-driven system on each tractor is an 8.2″ wide blade. The undercarriage of the model consists of individually linked, free-rolling tracks wrapped around drive sprockets and idlers with functional track tensioners.

Special attention was also paid to the custom plates and frame pieces which were engineered to connect these tractors, as well as an accurately replicated control system which allowed for operation of this machine by a single operator on the right tractor.

Each one of these incredible models is hand-crafted from hundreds of perfectly reproduced parts, painted in period correct colors with markings and warning labels providing the finishing details – all of which has been approved by the manufacturer for accuracy.

Although we are too early in the process to determine pricing we know that the production run will be low and availability limited. We will keep you up to date on progress and photos of these incredible models as we know more!

1:24 Cat® 416F2 Backhoe Loader – Die-Cast – Contractor’s Collection

Gary Peterson — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 21:00:52 +0000

Our 1:24 scale die-cast model of this machine has been modeled with the E-stick and 24” digging bucket along with a 1.31 cubic yard MP loader bucket. Boom, stick, loader and both buckets can all be put through a full range of motion as can the outriggers. This allows for a wide range of display positions for the model. All aspects of the 416F2 are modeled to CCM’s standards, including realistic hydraulic lines, windshield wipers, mirrors, lights and an opening cab door. A high level of attention has been paid to the engine and drivetrain, including the full array of components that make up the optional 4WD system. The model features both steering and oscillation of the front axle while a new material for the tires gives them a softer and more realistic appearance and feel. Close inspection of the operator’s cab will reveal a rotating seat, an assist knob on the steering wheel, pilot-operated joy sticks, instrumentation and warning labels. The fully rendered machine markings, warning labels and paint scheme are all approved by Caterpillar. Measuring approximately 12” long, 4” wide and 5” tall, the 416F2 is sure to draw attention in any collection.

Paint and markings are approved by the manufacturer for accuracy.

Includes a signed and serial-numbered spec brochure reproduction.

Jeff Dean - Classic Construction Models — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 18:36:44 +0000

Produced in precision 1:24 scale, this model was designed to replicate the versatility realized by its full-sized counterpart. Measuring approximately 6” long, 3” wide, and standing 3.5” tall to the top of the cab, the level of detail is incredible across the hundreds of painted and hand assembled pieces.

Notable features on the 287D include an engine access door which opens to reveal the C3.3B in impressive detail, but equally impressive is the tilt cab that hinges to reveal multiple service access points as well as system hydraulics. Functioning safety latches on both the cab and lift arm replicate the maintenance safety features as well as providing additional display positions.

The model sits on soft rubber molded tracks and features a modeled Dual Level Suspension Undercarriage. Extensive detailing in the cab, true to CCM style, includes an opening cab door to reveal the advanced display panel as well as foot pedals and joystick controls. Work lights, hand rails, and accurate hydraulic lines complete the model and make it a focal point in any collection.

All models will be individually serial-numbered and will include a serialized machine brochure to certify authenticity. The fully rendered machine markings, warning labels and paint scheme are all approved by Caterpillar.
