Bulldozer Komatsu G40, 1:48. Tamiya

Lots of little details in the kit and although some quite small parts, everything fits really well together...
Initially I made up the seat like this (see pic below), but quickly realised the seat is the wrong way round, Doh!
Easily rectified, but a simple schoolboy error! Lol!
Seat now the correct way round, and lots of detail added to the main body/chassis.
Quite a detailed cab area, lots of levers and pedals!
And we are done, this literally only took about two hours to build! Even comes with a little driver.
I think I see lots of rust in this models future, a model for me to experiment with rust effects , etc, maybe even a little dio involving a big heap of soil?

Cracking job Peter.
I agree, it's a lovely little kit and also lends itself well to a beaten up paint job as you're suggesting.
It's a pity none of the pictures of my build here have survived the software shenanigans
but I've kept the model as it's one of my favourites.

I seem to remember that one, it was a cracking build. Stood out because it was a different subject.

Wow, that really is a filler kit, that is very neat for a few hours - I’d almost be tempted to think about one once I get started into the stash.
Will start the priming and painting tomoz.....
An interesting little subject Peter. Great start.
Nice one peter , i do like a bulldozer . Plenty of scope for a little dio and lots of mud/ rust .
