Diecast Masters CAT Caterpillar D6 XE LGP Track Type Tractor Dozer with VPAT Blade and Operator High Line Series 1/50 Model by 85554

Its reasonably detailed but i got a d71-pxi from first gear also and it was more detailed than diecast masters and the tracks werent as loose as they are on this

Well made, highly detailed accurate diecast model

The price went down about $70 and the shipping was only $5.54 so I bought it. While tracking it after it was shipped I found out there would be $66 in duties and customs charges. This actually ended up being $71 at the door. No mention of duties or anything on the screen while purchasing or at any stage leading up to "Place Order". Also, the shade of yellow is slightly off from my other CAT machines. I think these things were better when Norscott was making them.

My uncle used to own a dozer and used it for many years to earn his living. He has great fondness for it and despite being retired for a couple decades, at 85, he’d jump back on it if he had the chance. A neat way to soothe his nostalgia and remind him of his younger days building roads and digging ponds was to give him the little replica for his birthday. He was impressed with the accuracy and the way parts are movable. Even though it is smaller than expected, (it was advertised correctly, I just don’t know the size of the original, so couldn’t visualize the scaled down version), it’s so precise and detailed, it was worth the money. My uncle approves! It’s on a shelf in his living room with a spotlight devoted to it. He loves it.

The packaging is awesome. love the tin box it comes in. Very well made.
