Cat and Welly forklift

[roadwarrior]

I added a couple of forklifts to my collection recently. I bought them on the same day on ebay and surprised they both arrived on the same day as well. The Caterpillar was advertised as 1/25 scale and the Welly as 1/24 scale.
When I compared the two I was a little disappointed that the Welly was not 1/24 scale. The seat gave it away. The Welly should have been a lot larger model of forklift compared to the CAT if it were a true 1/24 scale model. Looks to be maybe 1/43.
The Caterpillar is made by Norscot. They are Caterpillar offical maker of their die-cast toys. The forklift is the only diecast replica they make that is 1/25 scale.

I'd like to try to find one of those CAT forklifts! That is really cool! I have 3 of the Welly forklifts, I never noticed how out of scale they are. NICE!

Ive got a daewoo in 1/24 that was a promo from the daewoo forklift dealer i used to buy all my parts from when i worked maint. for a large warehouse. Ive always wanted to find just the right place for it, but so far have not.

Those are nice pieces, I agree. The Welly is not 1/25th.
