Robert PodkońskiStunning painting and weathering, congrats! (If I may, I would suggest you presenting the photo with a coin or paint bottle to give everyone the sense of the scale (I know this model - have one with cabin waiting for its time 😉 )

Djordje NikolicThank you Robert! That is a valid comment, with small models I usually place them in my hand to show the size. I forgot tonight and as it's almost midnight I decided to post as is 🙂

Robert PodkońskiThat's why it would be cool to have something familiar to compare the size of this masterpiece, IMHO 🙂

Djordje NikolicThank you Matt, yes it is very tiny model. The only negative I have about it is the parting line along the middle of the tracks that took some time to sand down perfectly.

Djordje NikolicRobert, believe it or not this tractor is almost the same size as the Polish TK-3 tankette in 1/48 🙂

Robert PodkońskiThat's true, Djordje. I have seen few times the real, reconstructed tankette here in Poland...and it is even smaller than my Fiat Panda! 🙂

Djordje NikolicWe have one in Belgrade museum as well! It had a purpose once upon a time 🙂

Simon NagorsnikNice vehicle!
Are there any improvements or is it built out of the box?
