Wow...great pictures mate, can't wait until this one becomes available across the pond 

Does anyone know when it will be available/is it already available in the USA?

Wow that looks great Richie, impressive work! 

Got the bl@@dy Xmas tree today  Did see a few nice tractors there though, pictures to follow in the appropriate topic soon. 

Nice pics mate, very nice model as usual from UH 

I bet some of the Yanks would like to see this, do you mind if I borrow your pictures for the TTT site?

I'll put my two penneth in...

In the USA, collections tend to not be as formal as European collections from what I have seen. In the USA, younger collectors (10-14) tend to be rougher with their models, and may bring them outside to the sandbox to play with. In Europe from what I have seen, collectors of the similar age tend to keep their models inside and use them lightly on the carpet. People pull lawsuits in the USA for the dumbest reasons on a daily basis...my guess is that RC2 wants to release a model in the USA that they can be certain they will not get sued for, and can include the age 10-14 label on it. In Europe, it seems less of a worry as collectors are generally lighter on their models, so the extra detail can be added to the age group models without the fear of them being constantly heavily used and swallable parts breaking off...

Looks like some nice models, thanks for posting mate. Great detail on those from UH, looks right down the alley for my collection 

Will have to pick up the non cabbed US version some time in the near future, ooo that also pushes back my truck savings for another week  :D

Happy birthday Andy, have a good one 

Happy belated Birthday Tam, and happy birthday today to DeerMeadowFarm and Scotty12 

Great stuff as always mate, amazing how you can keep working your wonders with these farm buildings. Looking forward to seeing this progress 

Typical November day here...raw and windy 

Nice pictures Oli mate, good to see some farming from NZ again 

Hope you had a good day mate 

Excellent work, sometimes is easy to forget how much more concept you get out of a 1/87 display. Great detail, keep up the good work chap 

Happy birthday, hope you had a good one 

The word "Dufus" comes to mind!  :D

Happy belated birthday Graeme 

Congrats on your award mate, does look the part. I remember last year the chrome editions had the name of the farm that ERTL found a real tractor to base the model on, is that true for this year's model also?

Interesting little tractor, never seen anything quite like it...only thing it slightly resembles are those grape farm tractors  \

Excellent collection of pictures mate, that 8300 looks like a real beast! 

Nice collection you have there mate...quite a few models I must add! 

Nice day but a bit on the nippy side...was about 1 degree above when I woke up at 7:30 this morning...autumn's here methinks 

Ah well, still have to give Ertl some credit for the QuadTrac and Vintage Ford releases this year...at least they are trying!

Cheers chaps, more to come this weekend if the weather permits 

All I am getting is red crosses... have you moved the pics Timmy B  :'( :'( :'(

Not sure why you can't see them mate, haven't moved anything. Can you see them now?  \

Wonderful stuff, Tim... and great story line. Are the pics taken with the new camera sweetheart

Yep took these with the new camera 

Happy belated birthday Gav 

Nice story line tim, and you need a special prize mate, this is the only topic on here that can  kill my broad band

Thanks mate, sorry about the Broadband  Perhaps I should post the pictures in several posts, mabey that would be easier for the community as a whole?  \
