But as I grew up the time and enthusiam faded and so the model making stopped for many years, my one regret however is that I failed to grab an AMT model of the Cat D8 bulldozer which is an awesome kit for those who have been fortunate enough to get their hands on one.
Anyway last Saturday I was in the Ian Allen bookshop in Brum which is also a model stockist and this new little kit immediately caught my eye.
Its a supposed to be the first bulldozer that was manufactured by Komatsu for the IJN and was based upon a Komatsu tractor built at that time.
Its really intended for an airfield diorama but would still make an excellent addition to any collection, anyway I thought I would not miss the boat this time and bought one.
The scale is 1/48th and its made by Tamiya so the quality is top notch, there are also a few metal etched parts with this kit the photographs give an idea of what you get for your cash.
All thats missing is glue, paint, time and effort. Whilst I will start on this kit soon it will not be completed in a hurry but I will post some pics when I've got it done.
