Cars, trucks and people

Hello,

this time the building of a classic bulldozer:


This is the content of an Artitec kit.
Artitec is a Dutch manufacturer of many useful items. But Warning! The content of this link may hooking you: https://www.artitecshop.com/en/
Out of this assortement: https://www.artitecshop.com/en/bulldozer...n-kit.html
There is also a WW2 military version with Le Tourneau blade available: https://www.artitecshop.com/en/us-bulldozer-d7-kit.html
And both are also availabe als ready made models.


Building of the kit is not difficult. Altough made out of resine, nearly all parts were free of flash and imperfections. So cleaning work is reduced to a minimum.
Here is started with the mounting of the controls to the body.


The tracks are not mounted in this stage, because it is easier to paint the kit.








This is now the intermediate result. The model will be weathered later by Speziguzi.

The prototype is a Caterpillar D7 with a Caterpillar blade and front mounted No. 24 cable control. https://usautoindustryworldwartwo.com/caterpillar.htm
