The modeling bench is cleaned and I'm excited to start this new project.

All the parts and pieces. Nice high quality tooling, a few decals, and PE parts.

Progress on the engine block. Painted with Vallejo Model Color. Flat Blue and Basalt Gray (1:2). The brass part is primed in white, painted in gold acrylic, and finished with a black acrylic pin wash.

PE part is superglued onto plastic and painted gray blue along with everything else. Then it dries and I lightly sand away the paint from the lettering and border to reveal the brass underneath.

Floor panel painted black, "rusted" with a light dry sponging of a mix of red and brown, and then finished with a subtle pin wash of dirt (a mix of red, brown, orange, and yellow)

Further progress and some gentle weathering. This is a tractor, not a showpiece!

All done and had a fun time putting this together. Parts were formed crisply and connected just right. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Thanks for watching! You can follow my next build here: Krachenvogel FNS465 | Project by grabius (1:20)
