Busch 42842 HO Scale Fortschritt ZT300 Tractor, Blue

Add a piece of East German farming history to your layout with the Busch 42842, a finely detailed HO scale model of the 1967 Fortschritt ZT 300-D farm tractor with enclosed cab, finished in blue and gray. Developed in the former East Germany (GDR) from the early 1960s, the Fortschritt ZT 300 was created by the Schoenebeck tractor works to lift the country's agriculture to a 'world-class' standard, targeting 100 hp and strong drawbar pull. First tested in 1964 and approved in 1967, it entered series production the same year, and by the early 1980s some 35,000 ZT tractors had been built before the improved ZT 320/323 followed.

Supplied fully assembled, the Busch 42842 is ready to place with no building or painting required, faithfully reproducing the boxy cab and workhorse stance of this legendary GDR tractor. The 'D' designation marks the detailed, further-revised version of the ZT 300 series, and item 42842 makes an authentic centerpiece for farm, agricultural and period Eastern-bloc scenes.
