Hitachi Construction Equipment

QUESTION:

I am considering a new direction in modeling and have been looking for kits of construction equipment. They seem to be very few and far between, with most models of construction equipment being preassembled diecast (toys or otherwise). I have no particular bias against diecast, but I want to assemble the kits myself instead of purchasing completed models. Could someone please provide information about manufacturers/sources for kits, plastic, multimedia and/or diecast?

ANSWER:

That, as you are discovering, is a pretty dry hole. UPC made a small Hitachi power shovel and Cat(?) bulldozer. Ediagrip(sp?) made a Mitsu power shovel. Then you are down to the old Ertl equipment.
