CATERPILLAR D11R CARRYDOZER TRACK TYPE TRACTOR




Add this earth-moving die-cast model Track-Type Tractor to your collection and replicate a construction site. The detailed 9-inch, 1:50 scale, black-and-gold tractor has a tilting dozer blade; stretchy, removable caterpillar tracks; a mobile ripper; various bars and handles; textured surfaces; exhaust stacks; and rotating cogged wheels above four base wheels. Transparent plastic windows offer interior views of the cab complete with levers and driver's seat. The heavy metal frame makes this vehicle tough to topple. But with its small, potentially finger-pinching moving parts --Kathryn Gustafson

1951 KAISER HENRY J


This SUNSTAR 1/18th scale Henry J model is very difficult to find. There have been many delays from the manufacturer Sunstar. Still, it has finally arrived and it is well worth the wait. This model checks out to an exact 1/18th scale. The model is detailed beyond belief, with working suspension, proper door hinges and much more. This model is NOT a toy. It is a precision built diecast model and it should be for display only. I suggest a plastic or glass case for the model, as dust can make it hard to keep clean. Many of the parts are very delicate too. Overall, this is a fantastic model and will not disappoint any Kaiser Frazer fan. --Richard Hamilton
