Hi chaps, I have decided on something simple and hopefully straight out of the box for this GB. I'm going to build the Thunder Models US Army Case tractor in civvie colours  . Here we go then, first steps will taken shortly. Certainly not much in the box  .   |

Ian, Pete, cheers chaps  . Here's the start then, a few parts are very fiddly and there are some parts that are not numbered in the instructions. But due to the low part count, it's not too hard to find the buggers .   Need to find out where the wiring runs for the carb and also where the fuel line runs from the tank  . These are not in the kit . |

I looked at this one for something a while back. Good to get a look at how it fits together.
I'd go faded red.
