Battlestar Galactica Power Sled MK-II (& MED-SLED) in 1:18 scale

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.

It was a fun and enjoyable build. I greatly enjoyed working on this project as a whole (especially conducting the research for many of the components accessories).
