1/144 MAZ-541 Heavy Duty Tractor - Armory (Update)

1/144 MAZ-541 Heavy Duty Tractor - Armory (update!)

I can't quite work out if it looks like something from a Gerry Anderson Series such as Thunderbirds, or a squashed American Hot-Rod?

Anyway, this beast is a 38 Litre V-12 4x4 Heavy Duty Tractor, with 3 seats and dual driving positions!

It is a kit, not a solid built piece and comprises resin body, internals, steering wheels and road wheels; clear vacform windows; plus a sheet of PE detailing for the grill work.( see KG144BBS for more info)

My only gripe is it does not appear to have any glazing and has solid windows?

Civilian N Gauge Range  (UK 1/148) - Link
CS-N-01 Scammell Haulage Contractor's (or Showman's) Prime  Mover £9.95
Although a the civil version, a little work could make for a passable Scammell R100 Military version?

Aircraft Interiors 1/144:
Although basic by the standard of today, Retrowings, Senworks etc these relatively cheap white metal interiors can help boost some of the older 1/144 kits lacking any real interior. This maybe particularly useful as revell are reissuing (for some unknown delusional reason) all those terrible kits on part with the crown/minicraft ranges of yesteryear!? Link

I feel a trip to Kent may be the order of the day!
