Miniart have done
some good choosing with their latest products – the recent Panzer III early
models and the European tram really must have annoyed the hell out of some of their
competitors! Now they hit again with something we have been after for a long
time – the versatile U.S. Tractor D7 w/Towing Winch kit in 1/35th
scale
Latest kit in progress from MiniArt
35174
BOX: 385x240x70 mm
kit contains 615
parts.
Workable track links
Photo etch included
The new kit of MiniArt’s #35174 U.S. Tractor D7 with towing
winch strapped to the back of it comes as a welcome surprise. It is a constant
on the battlefields, airfields and roads of world war two and after. This
tractor is just that – not a bulldozer but a tractor for pulling and pushing.
No doubt the bladed versions of this vehicle will come later – but as we read
in a recent review of the Ampersand
Publishing book on the D7 – it IS a Tractor!
The kit Box contains one model of the famous U.S. Tractor in
injection moulded plastic with everything in the box to make your little D7.
There are markings for two vehicles as well as some photo etched parts and some
workable tracks.
