Box Art

Brengun has released a great accessory to add to a WWII Royal Navy Aircraft carrier diorama. This a tractor used in the later part of WWII on aircraft carrier to move aircraft around the deck.

In the box is;

  • 15 x light grey resin parts
  • 1 decal sheet
  • 1 instruction sheet

The resin is well molded with very little flash and great detail. The only issue I found was the two larger parts have large resin parts to be removed which has to be done very carefully. Also, the review kit had one of the two part 5’s missing which I made a scratch one up.

Construction

First is the construction is the main body and the control parts, steering wheel, levers and pedals. Be careful installing the pedals as they are tightly spaced. I also drilled out the holes for the parts to be installed easier.

The wheels and accessories are added next. The front wheel bay needs to be enlarged to allow the wheel to be installed correctly.

Now you need to select which of the two offer options you want to complete. There is one from HMS Victorious 1944 or HMS Triumph 1948. I opted for the HMS Victorious.

You now paint the tractor and add the decals.

Summary

This was a very nice and simple kit and a great addition to any a diorama.

Thanks go to Hauler/Brengun for providing this kit to review and IPMS USA for allowing me to review it for them.
