Thx a lot mates for the nice comments.
@Holly - This is a very nice Kit. No problems, no putty, perfect fitting of the parts...
Only the chemical smell of the tires irritates a little bit. 🙂

Ich baue den Case-Traktor auch gerade und kann nur bestätigen, was Mike schreibt: Perfekte Passgenauigkeit, schöne Details und hervorragend umgesetzter Spritzguss - man sehe sich nur mal die Lüftungsschlitze an der Motorhaube an, da muss absolut nichts nachgearbeitet werden

Thx Gorbygould. - I'm now looking forward to their upcoming kit "Bergepanzer 38(t).
Hi Stefan - haben Deine Reifen auch dermaßen ausgegast??

@Arne - No parts in the aftermarket sector.
@Lex - Thank you for the comment.
--- Hope I can publish soon some better pics on our page.

Very nice work Mike, something different, and very cute displayed, simple but effective !! 👍

Mensch Mike, echt starkes Teil! Wer hat dir beim Bau geholfen? :-p

Hi Mates - thx a lot for the nice comments. I highly recommended the kit. A model for in between... 🙂
@Thomas - natürlich immer meine bessere Hälfte. Ich bin doch blind wie ein Maulwurf...😎

@Glenn and @Christian - It's always nice to read such comments. It motivates me always... 🙂

Really a beauty. This one forces me to to build a tractor in olive drab soon😉

Case closed lol! 😄 Looks very impressive indeed. I have the loader version and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and not ridicilous part count.
22 January 2017, 05:02

Thx a lot, mates.
@Moritz - Hau rein!!
@Julian - Could be possible building the loader version too (very interesting), but at the moment I'm still looking forward to the upcoming "Bergehetzer 38(t) early and late" kits.😉🙂

Na, da sind ja mal Bilder. 👍 Kecker Trecker, Mike! 👍 Ob ich meinen mit nach Wangerooge nehme?
22 January 2017, 13:13

Thx a lot again mates! 🙂
@Frankie - Den schaffst du in zwei Tagen... Und das Airbrushen lernst du diesmal auch noch...😉🙂
@Thomas - There is enough chemical smell from the tires. Diesel would have no chance!!!

Ein Blickfang und Modell welches ausm Rahmen fällt! Die Blumen sind ein klasse Farbtupfer.

Danke Ulf - Werden uns ja hoffentlich in Munster persönlich kennenlernen. Wir sind mit bei Thomas Hartwig am Stand von Panzermodell.de vertreten. Wäre nett. 🙂
23 January 2017, 16:17

Thank you Spanjaard.
@Ulf - Werde dich schon noch erinnern...😉
23 January 2017, 17:21

Hey Mike, dieses Jahr sieht es fast so aus, dass ich auch mal in Munster vorbeischaue!!!
24 January 2017, 08:24

Cool display base Sir. I like the idea of cut wooden log. Gave me a couple of ideas.
24 January 2017, 08:25

Brilliant little model. Nice paint job & photos.
Congratulations Mike. 👍
It's a petty that they don't make some German ones? Not easy to find some WW II Era German tractors...
24 January 2017, 12:45

Thanks a lot Chris, Alistair and Rui.
@Rui - yes, it's a pity - there were no special army tractors during WWII. (Or??) 🙂
24 January 2017, 17:24

For me, it could be a farmer tractor, we know that it would work on pulling some Me, Fw or even a Stuka😉
24 January 2017, 19:34

I like to lean something new every day and today it's the Lanz Bulldog. I haven't heard of it before, so I Googled it – what an amazing looking vehicle! I didn't know that Germans used steampunk tractors.
24 January 2017, 20:41

The Hanomag SS100 was used on Airfields to pull planes. Not a tractor at all but better than nothing
24 January 2017, 20:42

As usual the Germans use every little thing to their favour and to pull airplanes they use a lot of small captured tracked vehicles, like the Renault UE or the TKS
24 January 2017, 21:25

@gorbygould
Yes, we Germans used all, we can found in the occupied territories.
The same have the Allied Forces done, too. ;-D
25 January 2017, 08:33

The Hanomag pulled cannons too - like the 88 Flak. And the V2 with "Meillerwagen". You'll find a lot of pics on the web.
Btw on a railway event there were seven LANZ in one row, engines on. This was really an unforgettable noise... 🙂

Thank you Richard. My case with the front loader is still resting in my stash. Seems to be a little tricky.
18 May 2020, 15:59

This thread has really come alive again !!
sorry about that Mike😉 😄 😄 😄
18 May 2020, 18:38

Thx a lot, Chris. --- Btw, the CASE VAI from Airfix is the kit from Thunder Model.

Album info
Thunder Model is a new producer and the first kit is the CASE VAI.
This is really a very nice kit with crisp details and perfect fitting. Useful PEs are in the box too.
A project for a weekend. 🙂🙂🙂
