Apologies for not posting any pics yet.
I'll get around to that shortly. I'm happy to report that it's a neat little kit. The fit is very good with little or no putty required. The plastic is easy to work with though my "A sprue" was bowed when I opened the box, but on the plus side, it didn't affect any of the parts at all.
I've gone a little overboard and wired up the engine, including adding spark plugs. I don't know why I did that
Cheers,
Vincent

Mark, I think they were used as Tow tugs, mowing the grass on airfields, they also had a variety of attachments for other engineering work.
I'm no expert though.
