- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Greenland Snowtractor 1971

Newly independent Greenland needed vehicles for arctic conditions.  Unable to produce its own and wanting to remain neutral, Greenland sought proposals from Sweden, Finland, and Switzerland.  While the Swiss design was superior, it was too expensive.  Greenland chose the cheaper Finnish Sisu, later called the "Snowtractor," which, unbeknownst to them at the time, used repurposed WWII German tank parts.  Delivered between 1968 and 1975, the Snowtractor became crucial for Greenland's overland transport, carrying people and cargo across the ice.  Various specialized versions existed, and while primarily civilian, the Snowtractor could be armed for military use.  The vehicle gained wider recognition during a successful rescue of a crashed airliner.  Despite their age, most Snowtractors remain in service today.
