About product

The real subject

A deck tractor is a low and short vehicle whose only task is to move an aircraft where it is not supposed to get under its own power. On an aircraft carrier it handles machines between the deck, the elevators and the hangar; on land bases between the apron and the shelters. The shape is subordinated to that: a low silhouette so that the vehicle passes under the fuselage and the wing, a short wheelbase for turning in a tight space and a robust hitch for the tow bar. The designation in the name refers to the shorter variant of the tractor.

Where the model fits

On its own it is a small vehicle, but beside an aircraft model it does great service. It is used in deck and apron scenes, where it is what finally supplies the scale and the action: without ground equipment even a carefully built aircraft looks like an exhibit on a stand. In 1:72 scale it suits ordinary models of carrier and land-based aircraft of the same size.

Building and painting tips

  • Wash the parts before painting and let them dry completely, as grease holds paint badly.
  • Put small parts down in a dish; on the workbench they are easily lost.
  • Check the color scheme and the markings against photographs of the period you are building.
  • Ground handling equipment tends to be scuffed and greasy, so bolder weathering pays off on it.
  • The assembly sequence and the recommended glue are given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Terms of supply

Paints, glue and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. The extent of the package and the assembly sequence are given in the manufacturer's instructions. Check the assembly sequence and the recommended glue there before you start.

A model of the deck tractor. Paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise, and the extent of the package is stated by the manufacturer.

According to photographs of the operations you are building. Ground handling equipment tends to be scuffed and dirty, so the weathering can be stronger than on the aircraft.
