Most unusual kit I've seen in awhile ..

[Foxer]

A tractor?

 

Speaking of tractors, the Porsche is coming soon!

[Snake45]

You just know SOMEBODY is gonna put a blown Hemi in it....

[Renegade]

Looks like a walk behind garden tiller.

[Dave Van]

If it was 1/24 I might need one.....but 1/20.....pass

BTW I have a model of a Japanese robot that was made for auto assembly line work. Different to say the least.

Considering the size of the 1:1, it may look ok next to a 1/24 tractor

[Daddyfink]

Looks like I might be getting one! The detail is quite nice and I have plenty of 1/20th scale kits

[Mike999]

For unusual...how about a scale model kit of the machine that makes our scale models?  Also in 1/20 scale, the Nissei NEX-80-9E Electric Injection Molding Machine.  I've seen several versions of these over the years, in different boxes, always from Japanese companies.

WOWWWWWW, That is really cool. I want one!  If I were rich I would like to be able to offer injection molded tires.

Looks kind of like the Gravely my grandfather had when I was a kid.  Had a mower attachment on the front and a ride-along seat that attached to the hitch.

Ah, the good old Japanese. They love to make the strangest models. The weirdest one I ever seen, was a kit of a portable stereo boom box. What scale it was, I don't know or remember? It may have been 1/2 or 1/4? But not full size. I got a kick the box it came in, indicated the model came with a working speaker and a cord to plug it into something like.... a real boom box! I kid you not!

[Tom Geiger]

Whoa!  She's a 3 in 1 kit too!

I'm calling Shenanigans! 

[martinfan5]

I think I might win, who doesnt wanna build a model of an outhouse ?

 

[Dave Van]

I have a Hobby Japan magazine with a ad offering OBGYN office equipment models.......ewwwww

[Snake45]

If that's real, those would make challenging targets for a scoped .22 rifle at 50 yards. Or better yet, 100!

I have one of those.  Pretty sure it's a lavatory for the 1/32 scale Japanese bus kits.  Verlinden and some other companies have done actual 1/35 scale wooden (resin) outhouses.

The one you posted reminded me, I also have a Fujimi Japanese telephone booth.  They've done a lot of unusual accessories.  In 1/24 scale, they did an accessory set with a Japanese hot/cold vending machine, a teddy bear, cologne bottle and...a pack of cigarettes and lighter!  Plus other useful stuff. That one was sold as a stand-alone kit, but was also included with their 1/24 scale Austin Mini. And probably some other kits.

Would make sense, its the same scale as the buses , and it looks like one you would find in a bus

Yes, this one, its on my list of things to get one day

Verlinden has a nice porta potty

[ChrisBcritter]

If that's your build, PLEASE don't tell us how you weathered it...

[Olderisbetter]

Similar to what we have here in Thailand, but not as heavy duty. Ours have a one cylinder diesel engine with 10-12 HP. Lots of torque. With a trailer it becomes the family sedan.

What you have is a model of a walking tractor, also know as walk-behind tractor or 2 wheeled tractor. They were fairly popular in parts of the US in the early 20th century. They have always been popular in parts of Asia. You will still find them in the US being used by guys who have large truck patches and by "homesteaders" that are attempting to go off the grid. 

I've used one to plow and disc a large garden and the things are really useful, especially in a garden too small to get a regular 4 wheeled tractor in, but too big to try and maintain using manual labor.

Some of them have a lot of different attachments. BCS offers a plow, power disc, hay baler, snow blower (with tracks for the tractor), and a wheel barrow attachment.

These things put the average, run of the mill, garden tillers to shame.
