LATEST ADDITION! Caterpillar 555D [Tonkin 1:50]

Yesterday I received from Central Valley Models this latest addition from Tonkin Replicas in my collection and directly took it to the photo set:
  • Caterpillar 555D Wheel Skidder #TR40004
Despite the fact that Tonkin Replicas, end of January 2015, surprised us pleasantly with this Caterpillar Forest machine scale model in their 1:50th scale Diecast Construction Series it was long uncertain if this model, whether or not through Tonkin Replicas or Diecast Masters would actually be manufactured and supplied.

It became quite tense and unsure when during the Toy Fair 2016, early February 2016, the model was not announced in the first Diecast Masters catalogue.

In the end it appears a small production run of the Caterpillar 555D Wheel Skidder nonetheless is manufactured and supplied and exclusively through Central Valley Models for sale in their Central Valley Models eBay store.

You can find more pictures from the Caterpillar 555D Wheel Skidder scale model, machine 1:1 and background information in the category Skidders
 
Interested? My advice: 
Quickly contact with Central Valley Models before they are gone!
