Ohara SM100S Snowcat

I hope that this is not just an idea, but that it will also become a project;)

I hope that very much myself. Ideas I got plenty... 😄

It's hard to get any data on the vehicle.
Well, I could try to contact the manufacturer but I am not sure they will respond.
I am not skilled enough to offer them pictures of a stunning looking model they could show off on their social media or something similar in return.

For tracks I am still searching. The roadwheels are rather small but the tracks themselves are wide. 3d printing and scaling other wheels could help with all that if I find something fitting on the web.
For the body I could use styrene as the shape is rather simple.

Looks useful what Robber Penguin has linked to you.
Hopefully you can make something of it!
This work is certainly unique here and should be implemented😁

There is a papermodel of this vehicle. Just search for Ohara SM100S papermodel on google.
With this you have at least the rough overall shape of the vehicle.

Track width is 810mm.

Thank you very much, Robber Penguin! That will definitely help a lot. I will take a thorough look at your links this evening.

Thank you very much as well, Ingo. 🙂
I think I'll make that papermodel as additonal reference.
How did you find out the width of the tracks?

I need to up my mastery of Google. 😄

@Simon: Yes, I would love to start it this year at least.
I need to finish some other stuff and cure my mojo deficiency before I really start this or something similar.

I found the information on a russian site about tracked snow vehicles. The track width is for the Ohara om50 but as far as i can see, the tracks are the same.
Here are some sites with pictures of the tracks:

Lol, that`s local russian "ebay" actually. Great idea!
Makes sense to search through Yahoo jp and other japanese auctions as well (I don't know which one they usually use for cars). Didn't thought these beasts were available on civil market.
But I still think that there is another japanese arctic enthusiast in Twitter who gathered all available information already
