Here is my iteration of the Mirror CAT D7:


Additional real wall detail added to the radiator.


Added fuel injectors and the underfloor control linkages. (Yeah, I know they will never be seen on the finished model. (But I know they are there!)


Added some really nice Tamiya etched winch brake bands, picked up off some left over Dragon Wagon parts.


Here is what I was really shooting for based on the reference photos below:

(This tractor, trailer, bulldozer combo won “Best Armor” at the Louisville IPMS Regional. I kinda like winning Best Armor with Military, soft skinned, wheeled vehicles)

p.s. I could have gone for the armored dozer but all that armorplate just hides too much of all that very nice mechanical detail!

Beautiful job Michael - I know the Mirror D7 is lacking in some ways but you seem to have overcome…

Nice job. It looks great. I like it on the trailer too.

Addendum - another one would look good towing an Athey trailer - just sayin’ …
