Zetor 25 - Czechoslovak Air Force - WIP
![](/albums/img/5/6/1/1591561-69549-11-p.jpg "The kit parts are supplied in a relatively small, handsome cardboard box that is strong enough to protect its contents. The kit parts are divided into four transparent bags. One bag contains the "large" cast parts, the second bag contains the small cast parts, the third bag contains the 3D printed towbar parts used for the Mig 15 and 17, and the fourth bag contains the reflectors cast in clear resin, two mini-plates with photo-etched parts for the tractor and towbar, and a small decal sheet. | View full picture")

Ludvík KružíkI will admit at the outset that I only build cars occasionally. I turn to cars (and now a tractor) once in a while to take a break from planes to return to them with all the more gusto.
In this case, moreover, I'm combining the pleasant with the useful, because I got a military version of a Zetor that pulled Migs instead of plows on airfields.
When I discovered this tractor, I liked it from the first moment. And when the military version came along, it was a done deal. I just had to have this!

Ludvík KružíkI started working on building the model. This time it's really going to be an out of the box build. The kit is well made and contains all necessary accessories. Apart from a few thin wires there is nothing extra to make.
The kit parts are cast in resin and many parts are really small. Because the resin is fragile, I have to be careful and gentle when separating the parts so as not to damage the parts unnecessarily.

Ludvík KružíkAfter adding some small parts to the tractor chassis, I sprayed the main parts and assemblies.
Now I will start to finish the parts and assemble the model.

Ludvík KružíkGood to see you here, Alec.
It's not a plane, but it's plane-related. This tractor used to pull Mig fighters around the airport. 😄

Ludvík KružíkWork on the model continues. I am gradually adding more details.

Alec KDefinitely a great accessory to any airfield dio. I am getting closer to building a MiG ("closer" being a veeery relative term), I think it's available in 1/72 so may have to add to wishlist 😄

Ludvík KružíkI added the last details and finished the model. 🙂
Photos of the finished model are in a separate album here: Zetor 25 ‘Military w/Towbar for MiG 15/17s’, CMK 1:48 | Album by KLuK (1:48)

bughunterGreat work on a nice little kit! Did you use a primer on the resin parts?
24 November 2023, 18:09
Ludvík KružíkThank you bughunter! I really appreciate your words.
I didn't use any primer. The paints are sprayed directly onto the resin. I was worried that multiple layers of paint would cause some of the fine detail to be lost.
The only touch up before spraying the paint was to sand the surface of the model with fine sandpaper (#2000) and wash the entire model with detergent and then dry.
