Sentinel Tugmaster tractor

We have added the instructions and labels for the Sentinel Tugmaster tractor to the website page,

in advance of delivery of the kits to Hannants. The 1:144 and 1:72 kits will be available later in January 2015,

with the 1:48 version available in late February 2015.

With the arrival of the 1:144 and 1:72 kits this will complete the initial set of ground handling models

(tractor, tow bars and ground power unit) for all three V-bombers.

V-BOMBER SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

RAF SENTINEL TUGMASTER TRACTOR

This tractor was used with all three V-bombers, and for other aircraft.

The kit consists of a resin body with etched brass and cast metal detail parts.

I spoke with Neil of AIM the other day and he has the first castings and has assembled one Sentinel to check the fit of the parts.

So expect the kits to be available within the next few weeks.

Great timing for a 1/144 scale version, what with the GWH Vulcan and Victor and Micro-mir Vickers Valiant plus AIM power sets and tow bars. I sense some great QRA dioramas appearing
