1:35 M26 Dragon Wagon - Mud / Snow Tracks

Mud and snow tracks for the M26 Dragon Wagon, 1:35 scale

An accessory set for a model of the American M26 heavy tractor in 1:35 scale. This is not a kit, but elements that are added to a model and that represent an aid to better grip in mud and in snow. The way they are fitted and how the individual parts are assigned are given by the manufacturer in the supplied instructions.

The real subject

The M26, known by the nickname Dragon Wagon, was an American heavy tractor of the period of the Second World War, intended for the removal and transport of damaged tanks. It had an armored cab, hefty axles and in the field it pulled loads an ordinary truck was not equal to. That is exactly why grip in muddy or snow-covered ground was an issue with it.

What the set adds to a model

• Elements for better grip in rough ground, which kits as a rule do not contain.
• The chance to set a model into a winter or autumn scene, where a smooth finish would look empty.
• A rewarding place for bringing out a muddy surface with pigment.
• Wash and degrease the parts before painting so that the paint holds.
• Cut excess material away with a sharp blade a little clear of the part and sand the remainder off.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build American vehicles in 1:35 scale and want to set a model into particular weather and terrain. Work with small parts calls for tweezers and good light. Offer the parts up dry before gluing them on and compare them with the model.

The package contains only the parts of this set. The model, paints and glue are not part of it, unless stated otherwise.
