This is the 2017 Revell snap-tight 1:32 scale kit of the
PORSCHE DIESEL JUNIOR 108 FARM TRACTOR. (07820). I glued the parts and did extra body work and finishing, but can definitely recommend this kit for a family who want a nice weekend build with an assured good outcome. The kit even comes with stickers as well as water slide decals so it can be done by children.
The tractor was manufactured by
Porsche Diesel Morotenbau GmbH between 1952 (or 1956) to 1963 at the old Zeppelin factory in Friedrichshafen-Manzell, Germany. The tractor series was originally designed by Professor Dr. F. Porsche as a "people's tractor". Over 125 000 of the tractors were produced, with the Junior selling in the greatest numbers. It has a single cylinder diesel engine producing 14 British horsepower - the smallest of the Porsche tractor engines.
I painted all parts and used glue and very little body putty to produce this version of the finished kit. Paint is mostly Tamiya gloss red acrylic, and Vallejo washes and powders.
