Thx a lot mates for the nice comments.
@Holly - This is a very nice Kit. No problems, no putty, perfect fitting of the parts...
Only the chemical smell of the tires irritates a little bit. 🙂

Ich baue den Case-Traktor auch gerade und kann nur bestätigen, was Mike schreibt: Perfekte Passgenauigkeit, schöne Details und hervorragend umgesetzter Spritzguss - man sehe sich nur mal die Lüftungsschlitze an der Motorhaube an, da muss absolut nichts nachgearbeitet werden

Case closed lol! 😄 Looks very impressive indeed. I have the loader version and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and not ridicilous part count.

Thx a lot, mates.
@Moritz - Hau rein!!
@Julian - Could be possible building the loader version too (very interesting), but at the moment I'm still looking forward to the upcoming "Bergehetzer 38(t) early and late" kits.😉🙂

Thx a lot again mates! 🙂
@Frankie - Den schaffst du in zwei Tagen... Und das Airbrushen lernst du diesmal auch noch...😉🙂
@Thomas - There is enough chemical smell from the tires. Diesel would have no chance!!!

Cool display base Sir. I like the idea of cut wooden log. Gave me a couple of ideas.

Brilliant little model. Nice paint job & photos.
Congratulations Mike. 👍
It's a petty that they don't make some German ones? Not easy to find some WW II Era German tractors...

Thanks a lot Chris, Alistair and Rui.
@Rui - yes, it's a pity - there were no special army tractors during WWII. (Or??) 🙂

For me, it could be a farmer tractor, we know that it would work on pulling some Me, Fw or even a Stuka😉

I like to lean something new every day and today it's the Lanz Bulldog. I haven't heard of it before, so I Googled it – what an amazing looking vehicle! I didn't know that Germans used steampunk tractors.

The Hanomag SS100 was used on Airfields to pull planes. Not a tractor at all but better than nothing

As usual the Germans use every little thing to their favour and to pull airplanes they use a lot of small captured tracked vehicles, like the Renault UE or the TKS

The Hanomag pulled cannons too - like the 88 Flak. And the V2 with "Meillerwagen". You'll find a lot of pics on the web.
Btw on a railway event there were seven LANZ in one row, engines on. This was really an unforgettable noise... 🙂

Thank you Richard. My case with the front loader is still resting in my stash. Seems to be a little tricky.

Album info
Thunder Model is a new producer and the first kit is the CASE VAI.
This is really a very nice kit with crisp details and perfect fitting. Useful PEs are in the box too.
A project for a weekend. 🙂🙂🙂
