Looks about right to me, John. I wish there were more of this kind of thing in 1/48, maybe a D-7, D-8, and a Cat 12 grader. They made 9000 D-8's, a few more D-7's than that, and many Cat 12's in WW II, all over the place building airfields. If I read the description in the instructions correctly, the Komatsu was built when the Japanese saw how fast our equipment built airfields. I had a couple 1H D-8's for farming, they were called slide bar 8's because of how the transmission shifter worked. It was really clumsy for dozer work, nothing like as productive as later 8's, but they got the job done.

These were pretty cheap. I like my airliners and X planes :quotes: in flight

This has been over the last few months, maybe longer. . .
Guess what came yesterday?

Most of these are fairly recent. I like the looks of the Autocar trucks.
