DieCast Masters 1/87 Scale CAT 972M Wheel Loader
This 1/87 scale diecast model replicates the Caterpillar 972M wheel loader in authentic Cat Machine Yellow. It belongs to the Diecast Masters High Line Series and includes a detailed operator figure inside the cab. The model features articulated steering and a functional bucket that scoops and dumps. It is suited for collectors of construction equipment replicas and HO scale layout builders.
Metal Collector Box with Foam Insert and Rubber
The model arrives in a full-colour printed metal box with a die-cut foam insert that holds the loader securely. A cardboard outer sleeve adds further protection during storage. Real rubber tyres with authentic tread patterns are fitted, and the exterior includes accurate railings, grab rails and Cat trade dress. Diecast construction with some plastic parts provides a solid feel while keeping fine details crisp.
Check Your HO Scale Layout Space Before Ordering
The loader measures approximately four inches long, one point five inches wide and one point six two five inches high. Verify that your display shelf, diorama or trackside scene can accommodate these dimensions. The articulated steering mechanism requires a small amount of lateral clearance to operate. Buyers who need a different scale or a static display model without moving parts should consider other options.
