Wow, what a neat model. Somewhere in my hoard collection there are a couple of these kits.

View attachment 208568

They are quite configurable and work well. I had started building a steam powered Holt tractor. Hmmmm… wonder where those parts are? I should build this model.
Thank you sir!!!
That is a really cool track system.

@Revell-Fan and I decided to take this project to the next level by creating a stretcher (litter) to be stowed in the back end of the Med-Sled.

Starting with the outer skin of the stretcher.

Inserting the middle layer (*NOTE* I alternated the directions of the layers to add strength to the joints.).

The middle layer is fully inserted in place.

The stretcher are now in the back of the Med-Sled.

You can have them laying flat.
20230423_125935.jpg

Or you can have them stacked and laying on their side (and strapped to the roll-bar).
