The base model of course was a NZG CAT 245 and since the

cab of the 245 is nothing more than greenish windows I

removed those and added some clear windows along with 

a fully detailed cab insert with a seat,levers, and controls

Here's a front view to show off the bright red paint job and

hydraulic hoses as well as the quick coupler

Right side view with shear attached

The shear is a modified ZON attachment

Here's a close-up of the quick coupler along with the

attachment hydraulic lining plug-in connection

The hydraulic lines run all the way into the carbody

Decaled with the appropriate "H&H Co" markings

The shear jaws open and close, as well as

 rotate a complete 360 degrees

Here's a shot to show the modified original NZG 245 bucket

 for fitting the quick coupler, and also the shears size, as

it stands mouth open next to that man

Other attachments can be connected as well such

 as hydraulic hammers

I'm pleased to say that I am happy with how this model

turned out, in the end it does actually look quite close

to the real "H&H Co." red CAT 245

Here's a good photo of the excavator in action using its mighty

shears to bite into that old building and bringing it to the ground
