Brengun 1/144 MD-3 – U.S. Navy Tow Tractor (Early Version) with TAU-2H Unit

By Matt Bittner

Brengun 1/144 MD-3 – U.S. Navy Tow Tractor (Early Version) with TAU-2H Unit

Since Brengun has already released the MD-3 Early Version a few months ago they added a Twinned Agent Unit (TAU-2H) class B fire extinguishing unit creating this U.S. Navy Fire Tractor in 1/144. The MD-3 unit builds up the same as the prior release so the only difference with this release is the addition of the resin TAU-2H and a few pieces of photoetch (mainly a fold-up "cage") to complement it.

Unfortunately like the earlier MD-3 release there are only enough "warning stripe" decals to finish one tractor in this "dual tractor" release. So you'll either have to finish one MD-3 without these stripes or create your own out of decal, or hand-painting if your hand is steady enough.

This is another super release from Brengun that will definitely add life to any U.S. Navy aircraft display.

Many thanks are given to Brengun for supplying the review set.
