My latest diecast model is one that I've been waiting a long time for because it will be my first Skid Steer Loader. This is also one of the first 1:50 scale Skid Steer Loaders that I've seen.
Diecast Masters released the 242 with its tracked sibling the 259 during 2022. For it size this must be one of my most expensive models to date.
The model comes with four different interchangeable attachments.
Transporting is not a problem. The real machine weights around 1 ton.
The bucket has a nice high lift and the arms are stiff enough for it to keep a pose.
The operator is well modelled inside the cab.
Next to my largest loader, the 994, for a size comparison.
The 242 easily fits into the 994's bucket.
