Cat 12E Motor Grader

[Warren D]

Calling this one done.  Cat 12E in 1/35 scale, 3D resin kit by Hobby Link.  A difficult build as the main frame and cab were warped.  The cab was so bad that even after hours of work, the doors would not fit so I attached them as open which is how they were run in the warmer weather anyway.  I didn't glue down the front end components so the front tires tilt. Detail is decent.  The kit was produced as a military grader but I painted it in civie yellow.  Pollyscale acrylics have been great on resin and 3D prints with no primer required.  They cover well and it's too bad they stopped production 20 years ago.
