Earth Moving Equipment


Recommended Posts

Hello.

For some reason I like earth moving equipment. ( Caterpillar, etc) I have been looking around for a while and it seems that part of our hobby ( modeling) is dominated by die cast models. Are there plastic models for this sort of thing or a forum dedicated to it?

Also what would be the best scale to start a collection in terms of selection.

Thanks in advance

George.

Hey George,

There's really not much out for palstic scaled construction equipment. I too would like to build them. The onlt two kits that come to mind are the Bulldozer and Backhoe from AMT. As to the scale I can't recall at this time. I do know they had many working part. Someday I'll get around to making my 1/35th Frontloader from scratch, as for the wheel I'll be using a die-cast for a doner.

Good Luck with your search,

Joe

Thank you guys.

Judging by what's available on ebay die casts are pretty much the only way.

I am not rich so I'll start slow and see if I find some deals and build a small collection over time.

George.

EDIT:

I have one word.

holly molly, I may have to sell a bunch of plane kits.
