Comparison
The Tamiya Komatsu G40 is on top .. with the lube chart for the Caterpillar 45 tractor on the bottom. Since the Japanese copied the Best 30, my copying the Caterpillar 45 by backdating the Komatsu G40 .. makes me happy. This seemed like a good idea at first – but it basically means tossing out everything from the kit except for the track. That seems like a lot of waste for a kit of parts. In any case I will continue this .. waste or not |
Remove Blade
Since the idea is to backdate the model this means simply not using those parts. It would require filling in any holes but that would be fairly simple to do. |
Blade Removed
In “Real Life” any attachment points on the model left from not using the blade will have to be filled (as I mentioned earlier) but .. hey .. that’s part of the process. |
Move Seat
In any case, this is a major visual that simply jumps out and needs to be addressed. The controls of course would also be moved. |
