Caterpillar 320D Tracked Excavator
The Caterpillar 320D tracked excavator is a new addition to the Caterpillar model collection. The undercarriage has linked metal tracks with sprung loaded idler wheels and triple grouser pads.
The boom, stick and bucket have a good range of movement with the stick having cast hydraulic pipe detail along with flexible pipework connected to the bucket and stick cylinders. All the rivets and pins have been painted which greatly adds to the level of realism and even the ends of the pistons have been painted, which is a welcomed touch.

The cab features clear windows with detailed interior, rear view mirrors and scaled hand rails. Rear view mirrors have also been added to the opposite side of the body along with hand rails and anti slip texture on the upper deck surfaces.
The small deck access steps consist of a hollow grill pattern which is a good improvement on how Norscot usually cast such parts and demonstrates the improvements that Norscot are making to their new releases |

The bucket linkage has a good amount of movement with a very highly detailed digging bucket.

The paint finish on the model is very good with crisp power edge markings on the boom and body. Each new Norscot model release displays even more attention to detail and realism and this model is no exception.
Another great addition to the Caterpillar model line-up and 100% better than the previous Cat 320 release.
