Raba 250

[mark31]

Like you all now i have a weak spot for special models.

So here we go

the real one with single wheels

the box

All parts sorted

step 1 the engine

parts for the rear end

Its a full resin build so a lot to clean up.

But so far its a great fit i think this one is the tamiya under the resin kits.

Almost there for the first primer on some parts.

Nice progress and looking good, especially the weathering which suits how the heavy-duty machinery is going to be used.

Nice work and a very cool subject!

Cool project Mark, those Steigers are absolutely massive. Remember seeing them in the late 70's/ early 80's as my Dad was a farmer an used to go with him to machinery shows!

Completely missed this so just caught up with your progress. 

The weathering and paint looks spectacular there Mark. An unusual subject and you're making it look easy.
