replicant Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Hello mates, this is my little big monster tractor built for ModellFan 05/2018. Pictures contain incl. the 2 guys there and the One Euro Cent 236 parts, about 100 of them additional, some really tiny. Uff! There was a lot of struggling with the carpet monster!! The shown original civil version resides by a farmer a just round the corner. Other ones like my military Kasi tugged Buran, Tupolevs, Myasishchevs and Ilyushins...

adrianm2 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 That is truly awesome. Never seen a kit of this kind of vehicles before. For the scale, the details it shows is outstanding. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Lovely job on the tractor. I can't believe that it's 1/72nd scale. Nice one. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the USSR K-700 and derivatives were exclusively used for civilian purposes, even those painted khaki. Military, of course, have evaluated K-700 but found that MAZ and KRAZ tugs are more suitable for their needs. While I may imagine some K-700 was borrowed from the nearest KolHoz (collective farm) to tug an aircraft its primary mission was to plough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaoinas Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Yeah, I remember these, when I was a little boy. The biggest and the most impressive tractor a kid like me could ever see at the time. The model here is absolutely gorgeous- very well detailed and weathered. By photos it could be easily mistaken as 1:43 scale model, not a 1:72.

Pedro1 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 A great build of a very unusual subject. Love it for both reasons 🙂 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it for both reasons 🙂 Peter Thank you guys, for this relaunch! 🙂 🙂 Alexej: i have hundreds of pictures "Kasi" is towing many airplanes as Tu-22KD, also the new big russian UAV Okhotnik-B, in the factory they use at least 4 of it for moving brand new Su-34s (see russianplanes.net) Twitter: For rude comparision of size. New Russian heavy UAV project Okhotnik-B and Su-34. Both pulled by tractor K-700 Kirovets. From Russian Paralay forum thanks to Yuri My neighbour is Farmer and has also one in 1:1 from GDR LPG from now Chemnitz (was Karl-Marx-Stadt until 1990) Cheers, Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinistervampire319 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Very nice! Would love to do one of these. The latest videos I have seen of this tractor pulls. It out performs everything else and then some. This was the first time I have ever seen it in this video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaoinas Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Amazing. They probably left an enormous hole in the ozone layer after they got the tractor out of the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
