Looks good. I was waiting on the tracked version. It just looks cooler than the wheeled version.

Great picture, but that’s a Caterpillar 277C. The Gecko kit is a Case M400T. Completely different.

The US Navy/Marines use Caterpillar 277s. The US Army uses Case M400s. I found this out when I was building my M400T and was thinking about marking it as Navy SeaBees and putting it w/a SeaBee Mk23 I have; but a no-go.
