Thunder Models Cat Sixty 1/35

[Nortley]

This is an out of the box build.  I like machines that show their machinery.  The kit was a collection of nice looking pieces that didn't quite fit together.  Most every joint required "adjustment" of pins, pegs, tabs, and their variously shaped holes.  One step has the builder trim the track adjusters.  I did so, used the specified number of links - fewer would not mate up - and got sag that would look bad on a KV tank.  The instructions did offer good illustrations, EXCEPT that the arrowed lines are too faint and hard to see, not eased by the squiggly path some lines take.  Rearrange the steps to suit yourself, I think that following them in order would not work so well.  But, here is the completed model.  It does capture the look of the Caterpillar Sixty.

Cool build on a subject not seen much.
