Set 1 - consisting of 1' and 3' digging buckets and a 5' grading bucket.

Brian is currently looking for other projects and would like to know from collectors who are interested in buying addon parts and accessories. Current items on the agenda are a pole erection front end, complete with rear mounted pole holder, and a standard front bucket to fit the 3CX. Other items under consideration include a waste skip (for the 3CX or Loadall models), a patch planer or a sweeper.

   

Would there be any collectors interested in a bucket set for the 1:50th scale 3CX model, similar to what has been released above for the 1:25th scale model?
What about a replacement correctly scaled front bucket for the 1:50th scale Cat 420D/E and 432D/E models from Norscot to replace the oversized out of scale bucket supplied with the model?
