There will be another variant of the VAI tractor from Thunder Model, the US Army loader.
The kit is a VAI tractor upgraded with the Hough Payloader assembly.

This new model is also at 1/35 and has not release date yet. According to the CAD images, the plough will be movable, or at least can be shown in different positions.

I really like this. It would look great with a 1/35 pick-up.

I absolutely love the tractor model. The loader variant is a great choice as well. I can imagine this little unit would add a lot of character to many dioramas! Jim LSA
