With this model kit your Graupner (Kyosho) PistenBully or Kyosho Blizzard can be upgraded to a model of the Kässbohrer PistenBully 600. The model kit has been specifically adjusted to the dimensions of these chassis. Therefore a visually correct representation of the original can be achieved in scale 1:12 even with the narrow plastic tracks.
6 PVC vacuum formed parts, clear, transparent, for:
- drivers cabin
- cover behind cabin: air intakes and middle part
- side panels of the platform and rear fenders
- mirror housings (2x)
- rotating beacons from Pistenking (2x), with or without lights, according to choice
- center console, seats, steering column as vacuum formed parts (PVC)
- self-adhesive stickers: PB600 in silver, warning stickers (in color), instrument panel
The parts are not painted.
With the model kit the body of the PB600 can be built as shown above. Additional materials like ply wood and aluminum are necessary. The chassis, tracks and snow blade are NOT included!
