You can get the CAT decals if you want from Modeltruckin.com. I've never purchased from the present owner, but word is he does nice work.

Oh, you are so right! But they would still be gorgeous on that machine.
Was just on ebay and saw metal tracks, $45.00, shipped. Says already primed and ready to paint.
Search AMT D8.
Howdid you do the radiator area? Did you just use one of the decals, or did you do some scatch work there?

I had ordered a set of the metal tracks on the 10th, and they arrived today. Look great, primed and ready to go. Instructions appear to be okay.
The seller was great to deal with

Nice find GH. Recently saw a d8 like this one laying tile drains in a field while I was on vacation last week and the tracks on eBay look just like the ones on the dozer irl.

Next time HL puts kits on 40%, got to grab one.
John - let us know what you think of them when you get them.
Adding the hydraulic lines was a real pain in the butt but it came out well. I felt the area where the driver would sit was missing something so I ended up adding a 12 pack of Pepsi and making the seat look like it had ripped and been taped up. Overall super fun project and may go back to this kit in the future and build a forest service dozer.
I have one of these half built. I need to get back to it. This is amazing work and I love the modifications that were added.
