I bought this at the Northern Model Show, it was reduced and a good buy.
This is in 1/35 scale, a departure from WW1 but a change is as good as a rest.
This is almost something from my wish list, I balked at the price of the Accurate Armour and other resin kits, this looks like it could lead to other versions being produced. (Hopefully).

I did convert and build a tractor in 1/76 scale from Airfix, so it will be nice to do one a bit bigger.

This is a 6x4 tractor used as a recovery vehicle during the WW2, as well as a tank transporter and heavy artillery tractor, 459 of this variant were produced. I believe some were still in service in the 1980's.
The assembly is broken down into sub assemblies and looks reasonably straightforward.

Like many kits, an etched brass fret is included, these are not replacement parts for plastic bits but must be used.

I saw one of these in the mud run at Manby show ground, very capable.  Up there with the Alvis Stalwart on capable off road vehicles.

I have always liked the look of these vehicles.
There are lots of sub assemblies, here are a few, built and undercoated or not as the case may be.
The quality of the kit is really nice and the etched brass is a joy to work with.

Looks like your money was well spent.

More sub assemblies.
Sorry about the photo quality - about the same as my modelling skills!

I have just applied some Vallejo satin varnish to the cab roof and things are not right, it seems to have reacted with something, its a bit sad as I have applied the decal transfer, well I will see what can be done.
To weather( or whether) or not is another question, I think I may.

The joys of modelling.

Oh Heck,
Sorry to hear that Zak.
Could it be Summer has arrived but nobody told the Vallejo Varnish................?
Hope it comes together after some remedial work.
Cheers,
Bigkev

I need to heed the advice in your IPMS article and leave the paint to harden for longer I suspect.

Here we are warts and all, some light weathering, I feel that I need to add some clutter.

Looks very nice, I would like to see it in the flesh.  Will it be at the next club night?
