News from Schuco this month is a collection of models of various themes and scales. The feature finds the 1:32 Dutra D4K in Red, a superbly detailed piece. It doesn’t come cheap, just under 100 Euros. The remaining collection is highlighted by scale below.
About the Dutra D4K… “The Dutra D4K B was a heavy tractor with all-wheel drive, produced in the Hungarian „Red Star“ tractor factory. With its 90-hp, 6-cylinder diesel engine, with a displacement of almost 8 litres, the Dutra was rather top-heavy and particularly well suited to working heavy ground. Wuith production starting in 1964, the D4K B very quickly displaced the very loud and uncomfortable track-laying tractor in the GDR. The agricultural collectives of the GDR could only obtain its successor as a heavy tractor, the Kirovets K-700 if, in return, they provided proof that a D4K had been scrapped.”
