In February 1921, the designer Mr. A.M. Chase presented his track system mounted to a Ford model T car to the U.S. Army with hopes of a favorable acquisition decision. The Army declined. Since the Army declined, I reimagined the vehicle as a civilian recreational vehicle in brighter colors other than olive drab.

I repaired numerous (some significant diagonal ) 3D printing lines from using Squadron modeling putty and Mr. Surfacer 500 to fill in the surface areas, and lots of fine sanding. The 3D printed parts require care when removing form the print tree and sanding for assembly.

Primed with Mr. Surfacer Black primer. Painted with Green Stuff World Cesear Red. Top coated with a clear semi-gloss. The road wheels, steering wheels and leather seats were hand painted with Vallejo acrylics and the leather seat with Winsor Newton oils.

The only change to the kit was the addition of headlamp lens covers from my spare parts box.
