I remember years ago the construction company I worked for had a few Komatsu machines, a dozer, wheel loader and an excavator. When I wasn't on a job site I'd be in the yard working on the machines, seeing I was a diesel mechanic in the Marine Corps reserve at the time. Had to pick up some parts for one of the machines so I went to the dealer for them. On display out front they had a WA800 wheel loader and a PC1000 excavator.
Gotta say the Komatsu D475A-8 looks pretty nice, good thing I do not really collect 1:50 bulldozers (yet) as I did spent a lot of money recently on excavators and dump trucks 😊 Until Dezember I only collected 1:87 models... In 1:50 there is just so much more stuff available though, really love the size now. Thanks for the review 👍
Great looking dozer, Tommy ! I like how the ladder swings down, and the blade and ripper can slightly lift the machine. Overall, a pretty decent casting, and thanks for showing it. 👊👨🚒🇦🇺
@DiecastEmporium Yeah, it should be up next Thursday morning Australian time. I know very little about them, so any feedback from you, regarding their value, would be appreciated. They are all CAT models.
Great review Tommy always liked the komatsu brand machines, with your video it will help me make my decision on purchasing certain pieces. Hopefully in the near future you will do some Leibherr reviews to👍 I just purchased a 9150 excavator cant wait to receive it.
The Liebherr from WSI is a great model, very high quality, especially the hydraulics, much better than Diecast Masters. I love the bucket as well. Only part where WSI is a bit disappointing are the tracks (those hugh gaps at the turning points look like the tracks broke apart), basically every other manufacturer did that better. Still I own the Volvo 950, the Liebherr 970 and 9150 and they all belong to the highlights of my collection. Only excavator model I have with even higher quality is also from the nederlands: the hitachi 890 from TMC.
