Hanomag SS-100 Heavy Road Tractor

This is my Matador Models, 1/48 scale Hanomag SS-100 Heavy Road Tractor. It was one of the most common airfield vehicles used by the Luftwaffe but was also used by the German Army. After the war it saw continued service in the civilian arena. It was used as late as the 1960s to haul carnival rides around the European countryside. The model is all resin and metal with a few additions of my own.

I added a custom built driver, gear shift and hand brake inside.

The kit did not include any windows so I fabricated then from the clear plastic card that came with a watchband

The kit did not come with decals either; I stole a few from the Tamiya Kublewagen and found another in the spares box.

There is also an in-box review of the kit available at my website … http://www.swannysmodels.com/Hanomag.html

Ultimately this will be used in a diorama towing my Blohm und Voss Bv-215 that is under construction and the setting will be winter so disregard the greenery in the current setting.
