i wish i had bought those amazing qoeking metal machines from about 10 years ago. the ones that looked like models but were really minaturized versions of the real thing. there was a crane that's amazing. the boys on mythbusters have one in their office. anyon know their story?
Several here in several scales,
Dapol do a 60s JCB from an old Airfix mould.
Was long thought lost in a fire at Dapol until a tooling Co phoned them up and said 'Do you want this back, we've had it for 10 years?' Turns out the mould had been sent for repairs the day before the fire and no one remembered!

Kibri of Germany has a BUNCH of them in 1/87 (HO scale) -- backhoes, shovels, scrapers, skip loaders, you name it.
Check the Walthers website for a listing.
