I’m a huge fan of those little monstrosities. I have two myself I’m working on. You’ve done an excellent job with yours!

[jmarc]

GGGGlad you like them , Col do you have some pic of yours ?

[18bravo]

This thread has my Cletrtac build in it, among other things. Mine is not nearly involved as yours. In the thread I explain I want to pay homage to Shep Paine by using as much of the base kit as possible. Yours on the other hand is an absolute masterpiece.
My second Cletrac is in red and yellow plastic, kindly sent to me by Fred Boucher. Apparently is was from a Monogram missile kit. It will feature the engine from the Atlantis Fuel Truck kit. Flat head six, just like the Cletrac, but won’t be exposed like yours, so possibly a tad less detailed.

The moment I saw this photo I knew I had to do this diorama. [image] The problem? First off, no kit of the F2 fuel trailer exists in 1/48. Second - the M2 High Speed Tractor is available, but the two available 3D printed versions don’t quite do it for me, as nice as they might be. There’s a resin one from a Russian company (Ot Vinta) that is very nice, but I have been unable to find it. So that leaves me with one final option: The Monogram Cletrac (Cleveland Tractor) that came in some boxi…

If you like that old kit then you may enjoy this thread:

Fun with the Atlantis Vintage Gas Truck

You’ve probably seen them in Hobby Lobby and wondered who in the world would buy these old kits. Well that would be me. Treat it with a little TLC and you’ll be rewarded with a pretty nice build, even if it is older than you are. [image] All the trailer needs are some resin or rubber wheels. Actually the wheels are nicely done. The tires need tread around them - not easily captured with injection molding. [image] But the purpose of this thread was to see if the old Revell/Atlantis kit co…

I’m curious which tracks you used for your builds. I’m guessing 1/35 half track rubber tracks. I may try something similar to yours on my second build. I’m considering casting the track units so that I can cut them apart and double up on the the idlers, the sprockets, and “road wheels” so there’s good details on the inside as well. I really kike how you went about it.
