1/35 Case USAAF tractor

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.

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):

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.
