Hi all,
When surfing the net I came across this picture of a Letourneau Treecrusher used (tested) in Vietnam. .
I was wondering if someone has more information on this beast, anything is welcome. I’d love to build such a thing in 1/35. I believe there were two of these vehicles in Vietnam but they never saw widespread use.

Thanks in advance
