If you check out Modelman's 777 dump trk build, towards the end he mentioned courtesly asking Caterpillar to put decals on HIS OWN SCRATCHBUILT MODEL, Caterpillar said NO!

PACCAR is just as protective & greedy of thier namesake too.

You'll never see another american trk come from Tamiya.

IMHO thats a very poor view of the manufacturers to take after all it is free exposure , its not as if these models are good enough detail to give away trade secrets ! ! , if each model sold ment a small royalty payment to the manufacturer it would be something for nothing for them.
