Promodels / Quarter Kit has produced in a small production run a unique kit from the GASO.LINE Military series in 1:48th scale:

• Caterpillar D7 Armoured Bulldozer #GAS50123K

Caterpillar produced during World War II the Caterpillar D7A 1T1001 series Armoured Bulldozer. They where 138 pieces manufactured in 1943 and used during operation OVERLORD, D-Day 6th June 1944 and followed the Allies across Europe.

The Caterpillar D7 was protected with Armour plated 7mm thick and was equipped with a rear mounted Hyster D7N winch.

Thanks to its overall armour it could operate very closely to the frontline. The operator used the side-welded rungs to climb into this roofless dozer. The whole engine compartment was fully armoured either. The rollers of the suspension system were equally protected with some steel armour-plating.

As a complement to its regular use for general bulldozing, this vehicle could if required with the Hyster D7N winch even tow a 155 mm cannon or a 240 mm howitzer.

In 1995 Promodels / Quarter Kit, from Paris in France, started selling kits and built miniatures of military vehicles in scale 1:48 under the brand name: GASO.LINE. In addition, there also came soon dioramas and a very wide range of accessories. They also provide modifications to existing models based on Solido as kits and scale models that will be released entirely in house under the name: Master Fighter.

All scale models are composed of resin, metal, photo etched material for the fine work and offset printing decals for the type and name designation of each model.

The man behind Promodels / Quarter Kit is called Olivier Saint-lot. Olivier speaks very little English, but in English through email communicate just fine with you if you want more information about its unique kits and scale models.
