Cat 777D Mining Truck

I think it looks good too! Just curious why you had to ask Caterpillar for their approval on the decals? I thought you only need approval or licensing for mass production models, for profit. Why can't the hobbiest build an exact replica and decal it, when it's a one off item? That really stinks, to say the least, that Cat doesn't approve. I am sure there are Caterpillar decals and stickers around that haven't been approved. Heck, I wouldn't have even asked. I don't think I'd let that stop you.

I'm pretty sure you could use the stickers - you may not sell it as a CAT model, but for personal use, I would be surprised if Caterpillar had any power over that?!
Still, they should be proud to fly their flag from this fine model, the paint came out really well.
(I might be tempted to black-out the radiator grill? And maybe paint the wheel motors CAT yellow or black?)

Wow! It turned out just great. CAT hands out thousands of decals every year at career days and job fairs for kids to put on hard hats or any where the want, so I don't see a problem at all with adding them to your personal truck. They want people to put their logo on things to promote their products.

A first-class job on the build!
