At the end of October I received this latest addition in the "High Line Series" from Diecast Masters in my collection and today I had some time and took it to the photo set:

Caterpillar D3 Dozer #85673

Obviously I am very happy with this latest scale model of the Caterpillar D3 Dozer because it is actually the first under license released in 1:50th scale model within the Caterpillar D3 Dozer Series. TOP CHOICE!
