This amazing bit of modeling work was at the Manilla rally. It took 7020hrs to build and it ran beautifully. It was a joy to see it driving around the rally.

Awesome does not describe that little tractor!!! What a great model, and boy is it something to be proud of. My hats off to the builder!! The time and skill it would take to pull off a job like that blows my mind!

Thank you for sharing the pictures with everyone on Stak's.
