Do you remember the Caterpillar G9?
Permalink   


Years ago i bought an issue of "le Miroir" showing a very strange american tank...


I was very happy to find a ref on Tank encyclopedia and a booklet about this vehicle presented on landship I immediately bought:

https://landships.activeboard.com/t60663090/caterpillar-g9-and-other-early-us-tank-matters-wonderful-boo/

Enough ti stat a scratch base on the 1/35 Holt tractor from Roden.






It is not easy to know what was the real colour and I chosse some "american green to paint the tank :





 

I hope you like it!

Brilliant scratch build.

If you want more detail how the G9 model was put together - Yandex found a build thread on a French forum:

Very cool! I had no idea Roden made a Holt tractor.
