Don’t know if this should be here or in the ship section, but here goes: Since getting hooked on building aircraft I flew or was around aboard USS Kitty Hawk ages ago, I’ve built an F-14A and A-7E and would like to show them on the flight deck with the attendant tractors, huffers, etc.(1970s era) Can’t find any… Does anyone know of an outfit that produces kits of this stuff?

Got the deck, but nothing to put on it.

Also looking for 1/48 and/or 1/32 WWII vintage yellow gear also… though in those days it was gray…

Thanks, Sweetwater

Hasegawa produced some of that stuff, probably still do… There’s also a 1/48th WW2 set from Pro Modeler that has a nice tow tractor…

Dunno about 1/32 scale stuff…

Verlinden used to make 1/72 and 1/48 carrier tractors and other equipment, but I haven’t seen it in 1/32.

PWMP (Plastic World Modelling Products) from Belgium make a number of deck tractors in 1/32 - the only place I can seem to find pics is LuckyModel http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?search=Y&q_brand=PWMP&q_category=&q_scale=32&q_word=
