There's two kits in the box on four sprues. One is the MD-3 tractor and the other is the A/S32A-32. Both are used to move aircraft around on the carrier decks.

1/48 Carrier Tractors
So I wanted another easy and quick build (yeah, right) so I got out the Skunk Models Carrier Tractors. Yes I know it's not armor but it is military so there!!

Re: 1/48 Carrier Tractors
Doesn't take long to build up the main tractor. All that's left is the seat, steering wheel and tires.

Got the second tractor built up as far as I can before painting things.

Very cool! Ground equipment keeps ‘em flying and is sadly under represented in all scales for all eras and nations.

Scored these at the model show here. With as many US Navy aircraft that I have, they will come in handy!

They are looking good, shouldn't be long till you knock these out.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Nice touch! Now motorized them... 
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
