Caterpillar 966M Wheel LoaderPresented here is the updated M-series 966M wheel loader from Diecast Masters in 1:50th scale which has a number of subtle casting changes over the previous K-series model first released by Tonkin Replicas. The most noticeable difference is the toothed black bucket which has a slight angular cutting edge and is fitted to a Fusion quick coupler, allowing it to be removed. The counterweight on the model is a little different to that of the K series and there are some subtle changes to the cabin with the rear engine compartment having a new orientation for the side grills which are printed. The rear of the model has a new design that incorporates rear facing lights and a safety camera. The radiator grill has a very intricate textured surface which really does look authentic with metal safety railings and access ladders fitted to both sides of the articulating chassis. The small safety warining labels are a nice addition and the overall paint finish is of a high level, with painted over pin heads and crisply applied Cat markings. The 966M is from the “High Line” range and come packed in a decorative metal tin giving technical details of the real machine. It joins the "M" series Cat 950M and 972M wheel loaders. |
