D7E Bulldozer by RGL - Hobby link - 1/35 - 3D-printed

[RGL]

I got this kit for $50 off FB marketplace thinking it would be a punishing slog of resin. I was so wrong, it’s 3 d Printed and pretty much falls together. The only thing missing is fuel and hydraulic lines which I need to add. I’m waiting on mail from various parts of the earth so I can finish my diorama with the FT-17 and do some serious figure painting. This is supposedly a 1973 military type but I will paint her Cat yellow

3D prints look so good. Biggest issue I have is removing all the little "fingers" from the parts and then cleaning them up. Many parts are scale thickness, making for delicate builds.

What a Neat looking kit.

Looks good, Greg. I drive by an old Cat frequently and your Cat is as rusty as the semi-derelict real one. 👍

Done !

Very nice dozer, Greg. I really like the multi colored chipping. I have a 1/35 Doobie D9r kit started, where I plan multi layer hairspray chipping. Metal base color, chipping fluid, primer, chipping fluid and finally the body color. I have no idea, if it works.
