Thanks Nigel, but patience is not something I’m known for!🤣

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

Stripping the paint off. 

 

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  

But was it re issued in 1985 ? Aswell

I hope to be buying a IH tractor from someone on here in the not too distant future they are simply stunning and it would complimet my new collection insanely 

Did marshall ever bring them out with the explorer cabs john 

Some fair yolke there  needs a tarrup precission to make her grunt 

Sekura or victor type ?

I have the 1/32 UH Power Major and its the most flimsy off all my models. Like the Dexta above... Its front wheels both turn inwards, it's rocks on level surface so basicly 3 off the 4 wheels only touch the surface, the bonnet top don't close flush on both sides, headlamp fell off the day I bought it... 🙄🙄

So its just like the real thing then ha ha! acurate to the detail

Any more news or pics 

Thats lovely typical 70s tractor there i remember seeing allot of council / hiway yellow ones just like that  i wonder if the 135 britains loader could fit one of those cabs

Thanks sean so it does fit not too bad i saw 2 big mf 100 series in classic tractor a few months ago allong with a 135 in a row one of the 2 big ones had the loader on it all three of them had the duplo caba on them i see that lad on fb is selling flexi cabs they are wuite good but ild love to see one done with all yourframework on  you can get those electric heated bag sealers i(JML ..i think) was thinking if you got the right colours and cur them to shspe and sealed all of the cur shapes in there colours red white clear  ect very fidfly but once fitted it you coukd use some sort of hadener it might even all mould for casting 

And if memory serves me well you got the perfect thing to practice on ...your 1/16th massey 135 with cab frame

yeah they come on and off no problem,  dont think they look high ,may have been the angle the pics were taken, no i havent tried a britains duplex on it, have a yellow one in the shed so could do, although in all honesty i have only ever seen 1 ,a 165 , with one fitted for real, and that was sold a few years back from a farm not that far away from ours ,5 miles ,and passed the farm regularly  and i had never seen it before that either 

I remember seeing matyns farm models doing a 165  he put a duplo cab with Britain's  135 loader on it to it looked real good  cheers mate

bit of colour on now, only temp fixed in place  at present, need to figure out a fixing method for the front onto the chassis yet ,plus the covering ,also started the ploughs depth wheel ( 2nd pic) 

Hi sean can you take the weight frames off them replicagris it looked too high in the promo photos looking at yours it looks not too bad  also did you ever try Britain's 135 cab on her ??  

Stunning John be nice to get the older Nashe's potato bashing with a Ransomes digger ha ha!  

Thought they were burned down or something shame i did like their stuff maybee someone has taken them over

Dose look smart on a 4000 though 

I love that lamborne cab john would that fit and would it be standard across all tractor makes but would it fit a 135 mf and mf 188 ?? Just thinking Replicagri bringing out that new mf 188 that cab eould look good unless u have ever done the canvas cab we all know and love that we seen on those 70s masseys sirocco i think 

Again they all look spot on john
