I think you are wrong here.

A replica is an exact 1:1 copy of the original.

A scale model is a represantation or a copy of an object, which seeks to maintain the relative proportions (the scale factor) of the physical size of the

original object.

By those definitions the Marge Fords with there out of proprtion noses are just toys. Nice toys maybe but never the less.

Theike

thats not the point if it was an exact copy of the original in 1-32 scale the detail would have to be so intricate that the price would be huge. further more you say the the model is a representation of the real machine and not an exact copy. so there will be parts that are not 100% correct in that scale. world class enginers with the money of ford did not produce 2 tw25s that were the same all had minor differences. and we (model collectors) become distorted into what the original machines looked like and carry this over to the model

heaven help us for years we all wanted classic tractors from model makers,

now we get them and its "all wrong"

get over yourselves people these are models not exact replicas.

the tractor used for reference was not sat in the ford factory just been built.

it must be25 years old and tyres and other things might be different. The standard wheel size for the front was 14.9/28 but might be smaller for different job.

so if you do not like it do not buy, or accept it for what it is a nice model of a classic 80"s tractor.

rant over > >

really looking forward to going now. is the table plan out yet.

martyns farm models are table 167 with some surprises

Just finished my Ford 8630 thanks Martyn.

ITS NOT YOUR 8630 ITS MINE MINE MINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Cheek! I won't let you come round and play in my shop again then!!
