I was wondering watching the blowing snow fall through my window if a snowmobile had ever been done in 1:43? Obviously an old model to match with a model from the 50s-60s or 70s?

Hi Michel,

Majorette of France made a snowmobile very close to 1/43 scale.  It is called Moto-Neige and carries the number 259.

Below are three examples from my collection.

 

P1100589
P1100591

 

Compared to a Jaguar Mark II.

 

P1100592

I’ve got some packed away, so I’ve borrowed photos from the ‘net to illustrate…

These are probably not what you had in mind, but I’ll give it a go!

From the James Bond series, you could go for the Parahawk:

Or get yourself this ZIL all terrain:

CCDAB556 C70D 4660 899F A6CF08FD1DDD

Or jump up to 1:18 and get this 1954 Polaris:

The closest I have is a Solido Pisten Bully snow grooming tractor.

Kinsmart made a new one, not sure if the scale is accurate
