Here's the top of my wish list. At $226 Aussie...I'll be waiting a while. There are actually two other tractors like this for sale on this site which are well worth a look...as is the rest of the site. I've bought stuff from this guy before and he's totally reliable. Enjoy.

Ain't that one cute mate!

Oh yeah...I came across that and the two others when I was looking for brass for the Hummel (which I just bought for $14 Aussie incidentally). I have no idea what period she belongs in but who cares...what a beautiful model. Currently looking at ways to raise the cash. It would make a unique addition to my rather sparse collection.

I include it because it looks like a great resource for modellers with kits and reference pics too. Some of this might be to your tastes McCoy.
Peace.

PlusModel have a high standard in their quality.

So it seems. I'm just seeing these guys for the first time. It seems a bit pricey though. I could buy four or five good Dragon kits for the price of this little tractor. Maybe the kit includes PE gold or something.
Peace.

Here's another from my wish list. This PE set comprises several smaller (seperately available) sets and goes with Trumpeter's mighty Br 52 Kriegslokomotiv in 1/35. The Trumpeter kit comprises a length of track, the loco and tender. I've seen this kit built a few times around the traps and not many do it justice. My thinking is that if you're going to build a model this big (around three feet) you might as well pull out all the stops. Note the wood panelling on the inside of the roof of the loco.
Peace.

Nick, that looks like an early to mid-war combat engineer or Seabee vehicle. I think you'd have enough leeway to build it just about any time before mid-44ish.
You mean the tractor? That would be Pacific theatre for Seabee's?Originally Posted by Tom Houlihan
