Rick, welcome aboard mate you will have your hands full keeping an eye on the rabble.I'm with Paul E on this Scotty.......I really like these tractors. I will pull up a chair and keep a lookout for the rest of the rabble.Rick H.
Jakko, They are certainly the figures but in fairness they don't look to bad at first glance. But what they are like when assembled and painted remains to be seen.
Andrew, yes it is something different you can help Rick keep an eye on the rabble.

Hi Graeme, Good to have you along mate.
Is that a second choice of interior? PaulE

Hello mate not sure what you mean.

Started work on the hull. The exhaust pipes were very simplified so some major surgery was on the cards. The sides were cut out and replacements were made from sheet styrene. Holes were drilled for the engine cooling holes and new exhausts were made from ally tube. Removing the sides destroyed the towing hooks so these were also scratched and replaced with some added nuts detail.
This shows the part that was removed from the part above.
cheers
Scottie
The blocks on the sides have been filled as well

I have at least part of that set, acquired second-hand something like 25+ years ago, and found them to be pretty good at the time — a bit on the big side, perhaps, but detail seemed good for the day anyway. I never did actually use them for anything, though, and I’m not sure they really stand up to modern scrutiny, though.

At least I won't ruin some good figures with my painting mate 
Nice upgrades Paul.
Looks like two interiors provided. One on the left sprue second pic & one on the left sprue third pic, all on first page. Also looks like Pak40 trails included? PaulE

Hi Scottie
Going the extra mile as always. The exhausts are very nicely done.

Those doughnuts of Mr Race look good - wonder how many are left

Grabbing a chair to watch Paul
Grabbing a chair closer to John Race so that I can sneak one of those donuts

Paul,
I never even noticed mate until you pointed it out I will have to go back and see what differences there are. No gun is included but there are elements of it on the sprues.
