Fordson WOT8

[Dusonn]

Hello Howard,

although I haven´t had an opportunity to see any WOT6, the large petrol tanks should be the same. I had two tanks with my WOT8 and a friend has another one on his. All three match. The WOT6 followed up with production after the WOT8 was ceased so they used the same parts on the early types. Even the holders looks the same. Below find the basic dimensions.
To give you a scale for your modell, the wheel rim measures 59cm in diameter.

For those who buy the ICM WOT8 kit and decide to dedicate it to the Czechoslovak Independent brigade in Great Britain, the "lion" insignia they sell it with is wrong. The ICM got probably inspired by some of my period pictures but missed the detail and used a butcher gild lion instead! The brigade badge was used up to June 1943 until it got replaced by the Czechoslovak Independent Armoured Brigade Group badge - white lion on the red cross with blue background. Both should look like these originals here.
