After some light tanks, let try extra heavy truck in modern: the IDF version of Caterpillar D9R, a.k.a. teddy bear. This actually it a Takom kit repacking with etched sheets as slat armor surrounding cockpit. I not a big friend of etched sheets, especial on 1/72 scale. However the result on this bulldozer is really nice. Shame my another D9R (original Takom version) doesn't include slat armor. Since i painted this in sand tone, next time will try Israeli grey... 就這樣 2025 年第六作 (累計上色成品第 四 三 一 號) 入櫃了。
