Diecast Masters CAT D9T

My third dozer in recent months (D10, D6, D9) 😁. This time it's the the CAT D9T, also from Diecast Masters. The model comes in a nice tin like all Diecast Masters High Line models, this of course makes packaging very each for reselling.

The D9 fits nicely on the lowbed, with only the blade sticking out. Interestingly the blade on this D9 is not much smaller than that on the D10. 

What I miss on the D9 is that unlike the D6 you cannot remove the roof / operator to get a nice view of how it looks like inside the cab.

Lots of plastic hoses on the model, in front and on the ripper.

The mess detail on the engine covers looks very realistic.

The D9 weight in at around 50t compared to the D6 next to at 22t. Does not look double the size thou.

Diecast Masters CAT D6 XE

Another excellent model from Diecast Masters from it's High Line range. The D6XE is mid size dozer weighing around 24 tons from Caterpillar with electric drive. 

Unique to this model is the bars extending from the cab to the front like you would find in a forest configured machine. 

Nice little details include the foldable ladder allowing access to the fuel tank cap.

One critique I have is that you need to fit the rippers yourself. I could not manage to get them in place so for no this dozer is without rippers.

The D6 fits nicely on the low bed ready to be moved to next construction site. A lot of contractors prefer to use more than one smaller machine that can be transported more easily than one large machine.

A size comparison between the D6 & D7E which is roughly 2 tons heavier.

With the roof removed you can see how much detail Diecast Masters have put into the interior. Amazing, even got could cup holders.

Notice the aircon fans and the curved excuse pipe.

Compared against a D10T, 82 tons vs 22 tons.

Diecast Masters CAT 150

The CAT 150 is a medium size motor grader from Caterpillar. Almost identical in size to the 140, both having 3.7 meter blades, weighing in at almost 19 tons with a 136 kW engine. The 150 however is 6x6 (AWD) while the 140 is a 6x4 drive.

Nice thing about this model is the GPS for accurate cutting.

I'm not sold on the wheel arches.

Like most other High Line models the interior is highly detailed. See the CAT logo on the seat.

Fully functional rippers.

Compared against the 14M the 150 is slightly smaller. The 14M got a 4.2 meter moldboard against the 150's 3.7 m and weigh is 26 tons vs 19 tons.

Even in the model the cab view is excellent.

Loaded and ready to be moved.
