ipmsusa2 Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Now that we can attach photos directly to email, here's a few photos that I know Ed Wahl's been waiting for. As for the rest of you, the photos and model are part of a construction article I wrote called "Dirtmaster" that appeared in the August 2014 issue of Toy Trucker & Contractor. Ed, I hope you approve of what I did with your kit. Richard Edited October 30, 2014 by ipmsusa2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewahl Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hi, Richard, I can honestly say that I am impressed with the D8H as you have built and presented it. For those who do not know the history here, Richard needed an AMT Caterpillar D8H for the article he wanted to write. The current (or most recent) repop by AMT was minus the license, so the grille and side emblems were altered from the original kit to not hint at a Caterpillar trademark. I provided Richard an original kit (in exchange for some cash) in a mint condition box. This is the first of the many models I have provided to modelers in need who have actually built the kit I sent them and then came up with photos of the final result. Well done! I'm happy. It's too bad that 1/25 figures are so difficult to find. Otherwise this dozer could have had a sunburned barechested operator. I trust the editorial staff at the magazine were pleased with your build article and photos. Ed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipmsusa2 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 That they were, Ed. That they were. Again, many thanks for the help. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
