James Joe Dewar Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) As far as I can see, that 65 was a 3D printed model kit made by a French guy called Thomas B, I remember seeing it on the former French forum GTP, But it seems he no longer produces them, Here are a few shots of one weathered, And a link to him asking on another forum if anyone had any info on a wheeled prototype, ??. https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=ttalk&th=2138104 Regards Joe.

I think he put that wheeled artic photo up hopeing someone would know a bit about it so he could produce a model of one, The actual model kit was produced by a young French lad called Thomas B, https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=ttalk&th=2138104 That weathered kit was built by a guy called Bill76 he normally does 1/76th scale stuff.

WHITESNAKE01 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Hi all, Oooooh, being a Caterpillar-fan, i surely would purchase a kit like this........ But as far as i can see he didn't produce high numbers. Not to mention what the OEM would think of that.........................🤔 I will keep an eye on that! Hoping to find him supplying small numbers to Cat-fans! Have a nice day! BR Jan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
