Same here. I have the tractor inbound. I think the loader looks very nice also.

Their site didn't have prices.

I bought the kit off ebay for $22 and free shipping. I don't know of any other distributors to go through.
Ordered on 11/29, it was last reported in SF on 12/4. Unless it's held up in customs, should be here soon.
Was given a 12/6~12/15 time frame.
Yahu already has a IP PE set for it.

Does anyone have any more photos of the this tractor in wartime use?
Only saw this one and it's restored piece. The rest appear to be civilian post war.

The first two were in the link I posted and a restored tractor. Hoping for something more in the time period. I had not seen Hash's build thanks.
Interesting armored? version.
