Hello, collector friends.
I bought this Caterpillar in a bundle.
I do not know this Matchbox Caterpillar.
(Also not exactly my collector direction)

And, the inscription on the base plate had me confused.
The yellow wheels .......

Please send me information.
Thank you Mike & Nico

Actually there's no reason to get confused, as the baseplate tells you all you need.....
It is a Superfast No. 64 Caterpillar D9 Tractor, made in Macau back in 1979 (or a bit later).

Hello Mike, the model looks quite good with its tracks and canopy. The wording on the baseplate is poorly organised though.

I'll agree with that, It looks like it was "Made in Tractor" lol

Thank you friends for the information. :)
It confused me too, :?
The Caterpillar is larger and wider than a RW model.

A subsequent request to this convoluted.

This shell trailer has the size of a matchbox model.
But, unfortunately, no text on the base plate.

Please, for more details.

Thank you Nico

Hi Nico :) that is the trailer from a "Majorette" N°327 Camion Citerne et Remorque (Oil Tanker and Trailer)
It is French and first came out in 1988

Now you need to find the front half ;)
