1/35 Case USAAF tractor

[Gator]

Now that the USS New Orleans is finished, I’m starting work on the Thunder Models 1/35 Case tractor, again. I’m building the Army Air Corps version. I scratch built a canopy for it, figuring some creative mechanic wanted to stay out of the sun.

Hey look it's Kenny! Really neat idea with the canopy.

Cool Kenny!

I'm in here for this one. The VAC was a childhood friend, but when we got the 430 I just cast her aside! Nah, it just kept going on the alfalfa side mower.

Thanks every one! It’s a great little kit. I’ll be back at the bench later today after Ian and I watch our car how-to shows.

It is a very nice kit indeed! In case you didn't notice, there is a small error in the instructions:

I also did a photo walkaround of the real deal here (click photo):

Thanks Saul. Today’s progress.

I'm simply glad to see you posting here... It sounds like Ian is going to have an expensive hobby (referring to the car how-to videos).

We just like to watch and maybe get a couple of tips for Mom's SUV and Dad's truck.

Now this is a cool one!

Thank you.

I did a little work on the tractor today. Just wasn’t feeling it this weekend. Here’s a photo with the canopy in place but not glued down. The fuel cap went flying into another dimension so out came the punch set to make a new one.
