Jakko You had me wondering, so I went and looked it up. Going by the markings (I'm not a tractor expert 🙂) this is a John Deere 9530, which is 24.0 feet long (veritread.com/specs/..tors/john-deere/9530), or in real-world units: 7.3 metres. A T-72 is 6.7 to 6.9 metres long without the gun. In other words: the hull is only slightly shorter than the tractor overall. Yet in the photos of the model, it seems to be only about two-thirds the length. Is the tractor 1:24 scale?

William BankerThanks for all the kind comments
It was for a Ukrainian fund raising event
The John Deere Tractor is an off the shelf metal toy that I just weathered up
Regarding scale? I think it's 1/16th model 9320.... I didn't spend a lot of time looking for a scale model for the tractor as I had to do several other builds for the fund raiser.... This was the closest I could find of a picture I had seen online of a Ukrainian farmer using this model tractor to drag away an abandoned T-72 during the early days of the war

William BankerOK....I went back through my purchase records and apparently this is a 1/32 scale

Jakko Easiest way to figure it out would to be measure the length of the model and divide 7.3 metres by it 🙂

William BankerI'd do that --- but it's gone --- in a donor's hands right now over 300 miles from me. I'm pretty sure it's the 1/32 scale version of the toy. I remember wanting to get as close to 1/35 as I could and I picked one off Ebay. That said i was surprised at the size. Remember how low to the ground is Soviet armor (by design and that is why their crewman were recruited from small men --- typically under 5'7" when possible --- and the tractor in height is HUGE. If you have ever been next to one you can appreciated why they have the ladder to get up into the cab
