LATEST ADDITION! Caterpillar 245ME [CCM 1:48]

Last week I received from Roy Ferguson Sales in America this latest addition in my collection made by Classic Construction Models (CCM) and today I was able to take it to the photo set:
  • Caterpillar 245ME (Mass Excavator) Hydraulic Excavator
This die-cast scale model Caterpillar 245ME (Mass Excavator) Hydraulic Excavator is made in a limited edition of only 395 pieces in 2016 by CCM in scale 1:48 The scale model is packaged in a deluxe gift box and comes with a signed certificate. I'm the happy collector with in possession #293.

The legacy of the Caterpillar 245 lives on in this 1:48 scale die-cast replica of the Mass Excavator version of this bygone machine. It is equipped with the ME boom and stick and individually linked, narrow gauge tracks complete with spring tensioners in the track frames. Each model is crafted with a working stick and boom, positionable bucket, detailed hydraulic lines, accurate handrails and steps and a fully detailed engine accessible through opening doors. Perforated covers over the engine compartment add to the realism of the model and period correct paint and markings are the finishing touch.Retail Price: $274.99 and shipping cost.

My first impression: a very complete scale model a nice addition in my Caterpillar 245 Hydraulic Excavator series. More than well worth the wait! This is a must have for every Caterpillar collector.

I will add the complete review with more pictures from the model, machine in 1:1 and background information in the category Hydraulic Excavators So stay tuned for more!
