Paul Bradley Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) No quite sure where to put this. It isn't an aircraft, but it also isn't a ship, armoured fighting vehicle or civilian vehicle. As it works with aircraft, I'll plunk it here and the mods can move it if they so desire. First completion of the year - the Skunk Models 1/48 RN Tow Tractor. These come two to a box, and I completed one in the pre-1980's yellow and the other will be in post-80s dark green. Fit and detail are OK, nothing to write home about. The box also comes with a variety of nice figures, including a driver; I've left him removeable. The back of the box has a diorama base of an Invincible Class carrier deck. All I need now is a variety of 1/48 Sea Harriers to tow around! It's a generic tractor from either Hermes or Invincible, June 1982, hence the beat-up appearance. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Paul Bradley Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Thanks! I didn't want to overdo it because these were normally kept pretty pristine. However, I figured that if I put this with a Falklands Sea Harrier, the deck crew would have had more important things to worry about during 3 months of combat ops.
