Case 440CT

1/35 scale Gecko Model #35GM0010

The kit depict a military version of a skid loader, but I turn back in the civilian version, which is a Case 440 CT.
There are not a lot of modification needed to get a civilian, some part to forget and a bucket fully scratchbuilt !
I also choose to not build the enclosed cab with windows and a door, as seen on many vehicle !

If you want some reference picture of actual civilian vehicle, get a look to auction and online sales, they usually have a kinda walkaround HD images !
I also remake 2 parts with my 3d printer :
- the photo etched grill on top of the engine, because it is a nightmare to bend...
- the engine door, the kit part was plain with a light engraving who don't show a real deptht ..

Markings are made of homemade decals, masks and decals.
