Thunder Model 1:35 scale Scammell Pioneer TRMU30 Tractor 35204 scale model kit
This 1/35 scale kit replicates the Scammell Pioneer TRMU30, the robust British 6x4 tractor unit designed specifically for hauling heavy tanks during World War II. Thunder Model is known for high-fidelity engineering, and this kit offers a highly complex and rewarding build, focusing on the mechanical intricacies of this legendary prime mover.
-
Prime Mover: Accurately depicts the "Tank Transporter" variant of the Pioneer family, featuring the longer wheelbase and heavy-duty towing gear (distinct from the SV/2S recovery version).
-
Full Engine Detail: Features a complete and highly detailed replica of the Gardner 6-cylinder diesel engine, along with the transmission and radiator assembly, which can be displayed with open hood panels.
-
Complex Suspension: Meticulously recreates the unique "walking beam" rear suspension system and the single-axle front suspension, offering a realistic stance.
-
Winch & Cab: Includes a fully detailed winch mechanism housed behind the cab, as well as a complete driver's compartment with accurate controls and dashboard.
-
Slide Molding: Utilizes slide-mold technology to create detailed, single-piece parts for complex components, reducing seam lines.
-
Multimedia Parts: Includes a fret of photo-etched brass for fine details (such as radiator grilles and tool clasps) and decals for various British Army units.
-
Note: This kit contains the Tractor unit only; the 30-ton trailer is typically sold separately or in a different combo kit.
