  1. I wish to make some parts and hopefully whole tractors.  Is it best to use resin or whitemetal or does it depend on the size of the parts?  I have heard of the front axles on tractors drooping when they have been made of whitemetal but I thought a lot of Britains, etc used whitemetal for these.  I'm looking at 1/16 scale tractors so they will be quite heavy.  My preference is for metal but any advice and past experience would be most helpful.  I assume UH are mainly whitemetal of some sort?  Also any contacts who can make moulds and cast these materials would be useful.

  3. Can somebody give me the measurements of the rear wheels of the Ertl  magnums 305, 315 and also any of the current articulates machines.  Need to know overall diameter, width and diameter of centre.  Also any sources for purchasing 1/16 scale tyres?

    thanks for your help!!!

  4. I'm looking for some tyres for a conversion.  Preferably need to be rubber as opposed to plastic.  Size I'm after is 98mm overall dia, 27mm wide with a 54mm hole for the wheel, or 96mm overall dia, 29mm wide with a 48mm hole for the wheel.  Obviously something near to these would be good enough!  I'd be interested to hear of any models in 1/16 scale fitted with wheels this size.

    Thanks for your help.
