This new resin kit from IsraCast
includes
all you need to build a 1/48
IAF Towing Tractor Type A. This resin kit also includes photo etch and
decals. The IAF operates several towing tractors, all made in
Israel. This kit represents the most common tractor that is in service
from the 1980's.
I was pleased to see
that not only do you get the tractor, but you also get a seated figure to operate
the tractor.

The kit includes 20 gray resin
parts, 4 clear parts for lights, 15 brass photo etch parts that include
grills and anti-skid diamond plate...plus a decal sheet with all the
markings you'd expect to find on the real tractor (and even a decal for
the back of the figure). The casting
quality is crisp and he parts are very finely detailed. You get 2
pages of B&W instructions that include plenty of walkaround detail
photos that will take you through the assembly process and show you where
to add additional detailing with wire to represent hydraulic hoses etc.
One of these photos includes an Israeli AH-64 being towed by the tail
wheel by one of these tractors as well as Israeli jets being towed by the
nose wheel.
I'm pleased to see this new kit from
the folks at IsraCast and I have no doubt this tractor will be a popular
addition to IAF dioramas. IsraCast has done an excellent job on this kit
and paid special attention to all the details.
I would like to thank IsraCast
for providing me with this review sample.
