Anyone remember the MBA Models 1/25 S-65 artillery tractor? - quite insane.
I hadn't realised MBA Models had followed the S-65 with a 1/25 Komintern artillery tractor - downloadable at: http://ift.tt/2aMtErs.
It's the same deal as the S-65 - white model for personal use only.
For those who don't know what a Komintern tractor was.... In the 1930s the Red Army identified a requirement for tracked artillery tractors. The Komintern was a heavy tractor (11 tons) based on the unsuccessful T-12 medium tank. Unlike the tank it was reasonably successful and was built in some numbers from 1934 to 1941. It was used to tow the heavier Soviet guns such as the 203mm B-4 howitzer (Modelik) and 152mm D-20 howitzer (GPM). The name Komintern comes from the Soviet organisation charged with world wide export of communism - the name is a simple contraction of "Communist International".
