Thunder Model Tractor

[Vincent Power]

This is my contribution to the Engineering GB. I was going to do the Trumpeter S65 Stalinetz but I like the look of this one instead.

I haven't started it yet but it looks very nice in the box.

Oh nice, i have that underway on the bench.

It's a real beauty to put together. You will love it!

Very nice

I've heard reports of Thunder Model kits being very smelly, I hope this one is an exception?

Yes, post them for us to see Woody and I'd be interested to see the steering mod too. I plan on having the wheels turned on mine as well.

Vincent, here is a little improvement i did on the steering. This has made it so the front wheels can be turned for a little visual interest. Also i think it makes for better assembly of the parts.

Basically it is a simple case of drilling through the steering arms and axle. I made some pins from stretched sprue. I could have cut brass pins, but i felt the sprue was strong enough. I will glue it all once i find a steering angle i am happy with.






Thought i would get those two photos up at least
