1/87 Scale CAT 12M3 Motor Grader for Collectors

This 1/87 scale diecast model replicates the Caterpillar 12M3 Motor Grader in authentic Machine Yellow paint with accurate trade dress. It features a detailed cab interior complete with an operator figure, real rubber tires with authentic tread design, and an articulated front axle with functioning steering. The operating rear ripper and scarifier add functional realism to this High Line Series collectible.

Diecast Construction with Moveable Working Parts

The model combines diecast metal with plastic components to achieve detailed exterior and interior features. Moveable elements include the drawbar, circle, and moldboard, while the oscillating tandem rear wheels move independently left and right. These mechanical functions operate within the constraints of the small 1/87 scale, so movement range is limited by the compact dimensions of approximately 4.625 inches long, 1.75 inches wide, and 1.5 inches high.

Verify Display Space and Collector Intent Before

This item is an adult collectible model, not a toy intended for children's play. The included die-cut foam insert and cardboard outer box protect the model during transit and storage, but the metal display box requires shelf space. Buyers who need a larger scale for detailed diorama work or who want a model with opening doors or engine access should look elsewhere, as this High Line Series piece prioritises external accuracy and paint fidelity over internal access.
