Who wouldn’t fancy one of these for Xmas?

I don’t really do the scale model thing, but I must say I would not mind finding one of these in my presents pile on Christmas morning.

This remote controlled scale model of a Caterpillar 345D hydraulic excavator is stunning in detail and in operation. Seen in this video on display at a German model exhibition the remote controlled machine looks so real in every aspect. No doubt something like this if it’s even available commercially, would command a hefty price tag, but I think it would certainly keep me occupied for a few hours on Christmas morning!
