This was originally manufactured by Nitto Models, but the one you see here was produced by Blue Tank. This model was equipped for motorization and came with rubber band track. I replaced them with AFV Club's T91 track.
Academy Models Machine Gun set is a great source for more realistic .50 and .30 caliber machine guns.
The registration coed is stencilled on using Lion Roar set #. The date information is a Woodland Scenics dry transfer. While it's made for trains, they are not very readable and work well for military vehicles.
The Business End. I use a 6B pencil to shine if the edge of the dozer blade. The "drivers side" brush guard was missing from the kit, so I attempted to scratch build one from copper wire. It came out battered looking, but it came out...
The bridging placard is made from punched plastic card. The the numbers and letters are from another Woodland Scenics transfer set, and the lines is from a Verlinden set - the edging around the transfer sheet that is not meant to used. The bolt heads are made from the Grief tools - Hot plastic formed into a mold.
These bumper codes are from the DML Half Track. Each letter and number is placed individually.
The load tray in the 'down' position.
The pioneer tools are from Collector's Brass. The ones supplied in the kit were WAY out of scale.
