The Bob Semple Tank  No. 1

1/35 Scale

With no help coming, and nowhere to run, New Zealenders took the matter into their own hands.  With their limited resources and industrial base they converted mid 1930s Caterpillar D8 tractors into "tanks" following and borrowing design elements form the commercially developed Disston/Caterpillar tank.  Adding corrugated steel plating to the side became this vehicle's iconic signature look, The Bob Semple Tank was created.

This kit will allow you to make the first prototype variant of the Bob Semple Tank. New Zealand Army serial number NZ6292.

The "corrugated" armor plating is faithfully reproduced and it is hollow within.

The optional proposed 37mm turret gun is included.

A perfect companion to the Burstyn Tank and Skeleton Tank.

Superbly detailed 3D printed resin model.

Some details may change or be added as we approach the final finished product.
