Just below the Hetzer announcement on their website is this:
http://www.thundermodel.com/US-Army-Tractor-Case-VAI.html

Never understood why there weren't more tractor models. 1/35 is what is listed. This should have some appeal.

THUNDER MODEL has the US Loader "under development"- That means this could be a human "Loader", (what this "Loader" could be loading is a mystery), OR, it could be a "modern" 4x4 Loader, OR, an older-type "Tracked" Dozer with a Loader Bucket attached to where the Dozer Blade would normally be mounted...

It's anybody's guess...

HOORAY! A Case 4-Wheeled Tractor! How about a Ford or a Ferguson..? A John Deere "A" or "B"? An International "Farmall"..?

Nice tractor! My son will want me to paint it red, though.

The Case tractor was often used by the Air Force to mow around airfields.
