Here is a towing tractor to pose with the "Beguine" Mustang racer.
It is a Planet/Special Hobby/CMK release of the Czech Zetor 15 that is a little wonder, perfectly cast, full of detail, and indeed an extraordinary little kit. How I wish most airplane kits were like this! It is not the vehicle used in the US races, which was a 1949 Case tractor, but it's close enough to use as a photography prop, changing a part or two.
Thanks to Takuji Hosoda who pointed out to more references.
