- Collectibility: Diecast Masters are known for their quality and collectability within the diecast model community.
Cons
- Price: Diecast Masters products generally command a premium price compared to other HO scale diecast models.
- Plastic Parts: The inclusion of plastic parts (while necessary for some detailing) might detract slightly from the overall perceived quality by some collectors who prefer all-metal construction.
- Scale Specificity: Being 1/87 (HO) scale, it's limited to HO model railroading or display purposes; not compatible with larger scales.
- Fragility: While robust for diecast models, small parts like the operator figure and articulated steering could be susceptible to damage during handling if not careful.
This Diecast Masters CAT Caterpillar CT660 and 163H set offers a high level of detail and functionality for HO scale collectors, particularly those interested in construction equipment. The ability to connect/disconnect components and realistic features are significant positives. While the price point might be higher than some other HO models, the quality and licensing justify it for enthusiasts.
