NEWS FLASH! IMC Models Construction models Webshop

IMC Models moved in 2017 from the picturesque Montfoort to the more centrally located Houten near Utrecht. IMC Models is now located at the Peppelkade 23, ZIP code 3992 AL, in Houten, The Netherlands.

Not coincidentally within walking distance of the location of the bimonthly NAMAC swap meeting at the EXPO Houten and so they offer collectors the opportunity to come over at the trading days between 09.00 and 16.00 as to visite the showroom and while enjoying a fresh cup of coffee to snif around in their shop for the latest scale models of Sarens, Nooteboom and of course the entire Caterpillar colelction made by Diecast Masters.

Also, there are always a number of remnants and B-choice models that you can get for a good price. So, this weekend, I gladly turned home with the Caterpillar 3516C HD Engine of the Caterpillar MT4400D AC Off-Highway Truck that was specially kept for me and with some extra spare parts, creates a beautiful cargo load in a mini Diorama. Thank you guys!

This is also the first 745 machine which will be released as a (1:50th) scale model.

Key Features of the Caterpillar 745 Articulated Dump Truck are a detailed cab interior, including "Bob" the operator. (Which if wanted easily can be removed from its seat)) Authentic Cat Machine Yellow paint and trade dress. Functional tipping dump box and Articulated steering. Finishing touch are the authentic railings, grab rails and tire tread design. Biggest surprise it the opening hood which reveals the Caterpillar C18 ACERT engine: Keep them coming Diecast Masters!!

It would be great if a "Golden Oldies" version of the first DJB D250 Articulated Dump Truck from 1974 would be released by Diecast Masters. I say go for it!
