How easy or how hard snd what eould the cost be to make a tractor nose cone and or a whole bonnet from 1/1 scaled down to 1/32 can you hand scan the original shape you want to print and just scale down

Wonder if they would ever do the MF 550 would be easy for a company like universal hobbies I would have thought

So two types of 2wd 590 there Split silver/red cab Or sll Red cab both look good I like them allot

I know the feeling Sean

Those cabs on the 135 and 188 are perfect Sean

I'm going this year been such a long time I need to do some re collecting to make up from selling my collection 2 yrs ago coz of covid wage problems

Wow I'm not a fan of the landing tractors but that is lovely looks 100 percent Bob on

That looks fantastic Sean still wish you could cast that cab it's spot on

Love the 188 and its cab John I like your trailer too typical of a dairy farm I used to go to in my teens to help out they used to have it coupled up to a 454 loader tractor all summer a perry loader type

Can you still buy the book by warner hall was that in the last catalogue?

Tbh beacons on tractors never came into mind apart from local authorities machines or contractors but no it was more a 90s thing a young farmer thing almost boy racery must have cb aerials too Beacons were used mainly for SMVs agri or slow road working vehicles even more so on a duel carrageway if memory serves well i might be wrong though glad ours had a mag mount plate instead of perminant fixed imagine catching them under a tree ploughing headlands

I might be a ih man at heart but i did allot with jd 3050s 3350s and 2850s i might get me one of each coz i do think britains have done them proud

Yep still seems silly britains doing the german ih as replic and shuco do them why britains do not do a british ih is just beyond me

If you find it a challenge no hope for the rest of us john I would just convert a ertl but theres a question that they diddnt adress when they made it Its ment to be a 784 4wd but the grille has the extra layer of squares It should have the 484 584 grille if its 4wd but i think ertl at the time thought 4wd is the way forward shame it would look nice 2wd proper done

They were good to a point yea but replicagri haven't made a doncaster 784 yet unless your ultra tallented and can do them from scratch we all know who can but hes a busy farmer too ild love to see repli or UH do a doncaster tractor but i think it will never happen you can drop on ertl 784s quite easy one for conversions be better than what ertl did back in the day

Ive tried 10 times to get the world wide 74 style bonnet for 2 x ih 250 skids and they look too square ive tried useing a 250 bonnet and adding filler to it to get the right shape got the clay one perfect but it shrunk then cracked so ive been swearing allot coz ive failed to do a 444or 354 374 type tractor from bradford

This is wot can be done with ertl ih 784

I think it must ha ve been the cab for the finnish market at the time they also did ih 674s 454s with the older version of sekura square ap luxury cabs David browns too Dunno about massey ferguson 100 series or 500 series having those sekura cabs on though

Wish i had those talents and patience they are all stunning john I seem to remember in a early classic tractor mag there was a blue leyland secura cabbed tractor too mate

Have i said it before but theres a cab that needs casting sean

Is that the one i see on face book yellow with duncan cab it does look very good

The same happend with the davud brown 1210 they reased it as BIG FARMER or BIG FARM never saw a 1/16 DB 1210 though

Wow sean that 188 flexi is lovely and the ridgid is looking fine too mate

Probebly right pal

Ild buy a uh 590 2 wd or if they ever did coventry spec 2 wheel drive
