Exceptional quality and detail
Very happy with my purchase
Received my 2 side wing kits and I am very happy with the high quality craftsmanship and detail some of the best work I’ve seen
Will definitely purchase from Papyhobby again
I liked this one so much, I o ordered two more. Perfect fit for theOshkosh. Next tine I’ll order the wing blade.
The D8 Traction kit from Papyhobby is essential to improve the AMT D8 Dozer kit. The kit comes pre-assembled. (How nice is that)? Looks great and is designed for the kit. The kit improves the overall appearance of the AMT kit, which is a pretty good kit for it's age, but the D8 Traction Kit gives the model new life and added realism. If you want your AMT D8 Dozer kit to stand out, you need the Papyhobby D8 Traction kit.
The muffler is a nice representation of the, well, muffler. The end needs to be hollowed out, but it is a distinct piece of gear and sets the dozer apart from the rest of the crowd. Recommend.
The Radiator Grill is a must have for the AMT D8 Bulldozer kit. The decals to represent the radiator grill just don't cut it. This adds a new dimension of reality. The modeler has to cut out the space, but AMT does highlight the area with raised lines so just stay in the lines. The Fan Grill requires some creative thinking and modeling to get the fan in the radiator housing/grill assembly but well worth the effort. Again the modeler has to cut out the molded on fan grill. There is a section of PE that looks like ships railing, i couldn't figure out what it was for. It wasn't until after I had the assembly buttoned up did I realize it goes around the fan mounts. I had to refer to the stock photo's on the web site as to how it fit. Instructions would be nice, but after a little trial and error, it went fine and enhances the engine bay nicely. Highly Recommend
Item arrived in a timely manner, shipping cost was reasonable, easy to work with and a fine high quality product: highly recommend for that added detail and round out the AMT D8 Caterpillar model.
The modeler gets a nice photo etch fret with the grill, coolng fan grill, grill hardware and some other things not sure what they are. I was a bit perplexed by what appeared to be a length of 1/350 ship railing. IT wasn't until after I had the fan grill assembled and attached to the frame and engine did I realize that piece goes around the cirumference of the fan grill. Next time. Great stuff, easy to work with and figure out, even though it's written in French. Google translator works great. Highly recommend for dressing up the front end of your dozer kit.
Really nice dumper. Great detail, crisp casting and comes ready to set onto truck frame. Super detail on the hydraulic cylinder, right down to the oil seals.working tarp roller and realistic hooks to hold tailgate shut. More than happy with this item, will likely buy again
This is a sturdy and highly detailed cab. The fit is good. The parts cleaned up easily for painting. Highly recommend.
Great cast and very nice quality - top customer service :-)
I purchased the AMT D8 Bulldozer kit several years ago. A friend strongly recommended that I find a business that would custom produce photo-etch parts for the hobbyist, in order to make this model be what it should be.. I was not having any luck until I found out about Papy Hobby on a modelling forum. I ordered the photo-etched D8 radiator grill from their catalogue and I was really impressed by the quality of the parts. The fret includes the grill, foot pedals, an instrument panel, switches and a fan guard among other things.
I'm really looking forward to adding these parts to my bulldozer build.
In my opinion, these parts are a 'must have' for the AMT D8 kit.
The detail is incredible. I was blown away when it showed up. Has chain and all. Love it.
Fantastic conversion piece to turn your D8H into a D8K Proper square hydraulic tank and fuel tank that was stretched the width of the tractor to keep up with the extra hp the 8K had. Incredibly accurate and a great fit! Now i just need D8K decals lol.
Very accurate pieces. Makes a fantastic addition to your D8 kit. Much better than the dozer in the kit which is very inaccurate if you are familiar with Cat dozers. Angles both directions and pins up just like the real thing. Great piece!! Will be ordering more
Bought the single shank 4 barrel ripper for my D8. Amazingly accurate. A fantadtic addition to the kit. Will be getting another
I just received 30 brake booster with brackets. I’m very impressed with quality of these. Great job✔️
This piece is top top notch , detail is excellent .... Right down to hydraulic motors , belt tensionners , and ball valves for pre wetting tanks would highly recommend . Thanks Lloyd
Excellent workmanship ,very detailed plow ready for paint . Thank you
