This model just took first place and best of show at the local Hobbytown USA model contest held on saturday 12 April 2003. The tractor is 98%scratchbuilt. The trailer is from the Dragon Wagon kit by Tamiya, and the M-42 Duster is also from Tamiya.

Very nice work!
My local Hobbytown closed so I missed this years contest. However, I have nothing nearly as nice as that to enter.
Thanks for sharing.

Truely exceptional work. I prefer that tractor to the Dragon wagon that came with the kit, but 98% scratchbuilt is way outa my league
