USA/US Army Tow Tractor Driver, 1/32 - Aerobonus 320.070

The USAF/US Army Tow Tractor Driver Aerobonus 320.070 scale figure is a static modelling accessory in 1/32 scale. It depicts a seated driver who is designed to take his place on an American tow tractor and bring a human presence to an airfield or aircraft maintenance scene.

Made from resin, this figure is a detailing solution tailored to models and dioramas dedicated to US Air Force or US Army ground support equipment. Its seated pose makes it easy to visually complete a tow vehicle at the same scale.

Assembly and painting

As with any resin part, preparation includes carefully removing the moulding stubs, followed by cleaning before gluing and painting. Cyanoacrylate glue is suitable for assembling the resin components. Applying a primer then helps the paint adhere and makes the uniform details easier to read.

The paintwork can be built up in several stages, with a base coat, highlights on the raised areas, and shading in the recesses. Light weathering can also help integrate the figure into an airbase setting or an operational diorama.
