This is yet another example of what happens when a creative modeler just can't leave well enough alone! This exceptionally nice model of a Barber-Greene asphalt paver began as Classic Construction Models brass Caterpillar AP1055 asphalt paver. Dan used genuine Barber-Greene paint purchased at his local Caterpillar dealer (Cat purchased Barber-Greene and still stocks the paint) and made his own decals using a color copier (and lots of trial and error, Dan says!). Caterpillar still offers buyers the AP1055 in Barber Greene colors and logo if the buyer wants. To see more of Dan's conversions of CCM brass models, click here.
