Caterpillar D10T Bulldozer
Presented here is the 1:50th scale D10T tracked dozer from Norscot. The model features a rear 3-shank ripper frame with the central ripper tooth missing which gives the model an interesting look.

The undercarriage frame castings incorporate the 8 main roller bogies which have detailed front surfaces although there are no actual rollers fitted. The main drive wheels are made of plastic with detailed front casting pattern complete with visible bolt heads and toothed edges. The individually linked metal tracks have single grouser and bolt head detailing on each pad which gives a realistic appearance, enhanced by the droop on the tracks which looks great.
Accurately scaled grab rails have been added to both sides of the rear body casting along with modelled filler caps for the hydraulic and fuel tanks. The hydraulics allow the ripper to be positioned in the lowered or raised position and the angle of the ripper tooth can also be adjusted. |

The rear of the cab has a centrally mounted work light with painted lense along with two forward facing work lights mounted to the ends of the ROPs frame. |

The paint finish on the model is good throughout with an anti-glare finish on the rear surface of the blade and upper engine bay.
