D9T Production Photos

Here are some recent photos of the D9T assembly process.

D9T Photo Updates

We recently updated our website to include new pictures of the upcoming brass 1:48 scale Caterpillar D9T.  You can view the photos here: http://ccmodels.com/upcoming-D9T.html

Customer Highlight: Graham May

Graham May recently sent us photos of his CCM Caterpillar 988 and CCM Caterpillar 834, which he converted to include a roll-over protection system (ROPS) using Ad Geiver's kit.

The results are spectacular.  We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did.

D9H Update

Based on a QC sampling of the D9H models when they arrived, we decided to inspect each model individually.

We are nearing the end of this process and, unfortunately, have concluded that the best course of action is to go back to the beginning and redo all of them.

At this point we are estimating that they will be returned to us and ready to ship in four to five months.

Again, we apologize for the delay and will continue to do our best to get these models to you as soon as possible.

992C Prototype

We recently completed an SLA (Stereolithography) prototype of our upcoming die-cast 1:48 scale Caterpillar 992C Wheel Loader using our in-house SLA machine.  This will be the first model to go into production as the result of a customer vote and is approximately 60% of the way there.  We hope that you are as excited as we are for this model to arrive and enjoy the pictures that follow.

Delayed shipment of the D9H

In case we don't have you on our email list, here is a copy of the email we sent today regarding the status of the D9H models.

Dear CCM Customer,

Our D9H, DD9H and SxS D9H models arrived here on November 29^th.  A random inspection found models that had not been corrected as directed during our visit to the manufacturer in October.  To ensure every model that we ship meets our standards, we are holding all the models here.  We are of course extremely disappointed that we are unable to ship these as planned and will advise of our new delivery schedule as soon as possible.
