Caterpillar 18M3 Motor GraderThe 1:50th scale Caterpillar 18M3 motor grader presented here is another example of the increased level of detail and functionality being added to the latest Caterpillar die-cast models by Diecast Masters.
The articulating frame offers limited steering and the rear bogies do allow some oscillation. What makes the model shine is the decision to add the full mining spec package which has been accurately modelled to include the side walkways and safety railings integrated into the rear wheel fenders with operator access achieved from the rear of the machine. The angular shape of the cabin has been accurately modelled and shows off the fine detailing including grab rails, extending mirrors and all-round work lights with painted lenses. Even the fire suppression canister has been realised, fitted to the rear of the engine bay while printing has been used to highlight the perforations in the engine panels. The ripper mounted on the rear of the chassis can be adjusted in height and the cylinder has flexible piping for added realism. |
