how did you do the bonnet, the new grill and where did you get the 8480 decals cheers paulali

thankyou johny, got it ,i thought that is where you meant cheers paulali

johny will post my collection but not many and what i have got i am working on will post some if you like cheers paulali

i would be very interested in the front weights any topics showing them cheers paulali

i think i know where you mean now johny, but a pic will clear it up for me, you mean the edge of the cab door where it touches the mudguard is that right? cheers paulali

removing front linkage simon, easy, undo the 2 screws underneath the tractor then take out front linkage rear wheels just replace rear siku wheels with the uh ones, front a bit more difficult ,you have to hacksaw or dremel the 2 pin heads then wheels come off, then make up two more pins and glue on the front uh wheels i am sure somebody, particularly the pro builders will have a more satisfactory answer for the front axle but that is what i done cheers simon,paulali

sorry to be stupid johny but paint where? i have looked at my mf brochures and cant see red under the door could you post a picture that might help ,paulali

great looking model ,superb, any info on what chassis wheels and tyres etc you used ,paul palmer

that would have been easy but 5455 shorter than the 5480 in real life, mirrors slightly different, plus subtle chassis, exhaust differences but hey there you go cheers paul palmer

last 2 pics paul palmer

does this count as a conversion? it is a siku mf 5455 and all i have done is took out the stupid steering system from the roof, put on a uh mf 5480 roof, added a beacon and uh mf 5480 wheels front and back oh and took off the front linkage ones down here never seem to have a front link cheers paul palmer

that looks great simon superb work ,forget doing a green one, next up must be a massey,paul palmer
