CAT D11 repair dio in progress.
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2014 12:40 am
I got sent a CAT service truck and a D11 minus the cab and a broken blade tilt ram to weather so I made a start a while back.
I have finished the service truck. I've only lightly weathered it because all the photos I've seen online seem to be of pretty clean ones. I've added the flashing light bar to the roof, a small fire extinguisher to the rear and made fixed outriggers. Thses dont slide in and out because it will sit in the dio like this. I fixed the broken ram and put that on a pallet and made up a small wooden crate from balsa and placed that on a pallet for a small load.
Some photos.

The D11 was weathered last night and just waiting to get some wood for a plinth to mount it on and make a tarp to cover the missing cab.
