Hello kwabbus,
this is a truely amazing replica of the ACCO dozer. Even the BERCO track pads are absolutly true-to-the-scale with the reinforcement of the grouser bars. Looks like there is every bolt in place on this tractor and the twin drivetrain convinces me on the spot. Wow. Great job by Matteo!
And thank you for your website and all the work connected with it. I love it, one of the best on the net regarding CAT models. Especially the making-of section! That said, I hope to see further photos and steps of Ads D9E Van Damme plough tractor soon!
Cheers,
Max

The models,themselves,are great.Robust,detailed,functional,even 'Bob',is optional.The only problem,I personally have,is a roof-space with loads and loads of boxes,the metal boxes for me are the only thing that has put me off.As I would like maybe two,or three of the same model.For instance,ADT's.The boxes are fine for presenting a gift to someone,or as a promotional item,but for me 20+ boxes is a headache.If collectors(like me)could get hold of machines in minimum packaging,I would get more.

I didn't realize DM has a first generation 769! That's awesome, I just wish they'd sell their classic machines separate, I don't want to have to buy the goofy looking 770 just to get the 769.
