A Cat Forklift. Which Nation/Army uses it? Good for loading HEMTT trucks?

I saw these an USAREUR base about 15 years ago, in yellow and military green colors too. Good for loading HEMTT, M915, M1078, M1083, MTVR etc.

Thank Akos. May I ask which base was it?

A lot of factories use the LP or propane fueled versions. Less fumes for inside work. Wayne

That looks remarkable in accuracy and appearance.

Not precisely the right model, but you could whip up a diorama for Staplerfahrer Klaus – Der erste Arbeitstag with it…

That looks like a great kit. I just built another, older version of a Hyster lift - which is fine, but it was not a great kit, and is pretty old - I wish this came out a few months ago - :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hmmm. I wonder how detailed the kit is as compared to 3D print files already available to print on cults3D.

Thank you for the bad mood. Nice try, but not true.
Cults3d is a good inspiration but most of the models found there are not good enough to become a scale model, because most 3D models are not made by scale modelers.

For example, you won’t find this part on the cults3d site.

I disagree with that statement. Most of the designs that are individual pieced kits are usually very good. Many of the one-piece designs are pretty bad as they are not really models, but for small-scale gaming. If you know what to look for, there are lots of very nicely done models on Cults3D and other sites.

I get it, you are trying to sell your product, but disparaging your customers isn’t a good idea either.

The forklift looks like a Liebherr, but I think the result will be the same. Fortunatly, this never happened to me after I made my forklift license. :slightly_smiling_face:
