CAT 797F project

[niner]

Started on this 797F project today. Flying a bit solo on it due to no photos of the real white version. Added load indicators to either side of the cab, high viz strips and a fleet number above the rear diff. I will add a fleet number to the front grill when they arrive, I will also be putting high viz strips on the dump body.

They are a nice model and very striking in the white livery; should look great when its done.

Got back from a weekend away in the Lakes this afternoon and my 8mm letter and numbers had arrived so I painted and fitted the fleet ID number to the front grill and glued on the red shackle eyes to the front bumper. It's coming together.

Very nice - is the battery going in the skip?

[niner]

No not on this one. The model is big enough to put one of those square 9v batteries in-between the chassis just in front of the back wheels.

I broke 2 of the LED's tonight so couldn't finish putting the lights in. Got 2 of the higher headlights in though.
