did you ever manage to finish it IHP ?

i personally would be looking at ?25 approx but e-bay are all over the place with prices for them saw a good one with no box go for ?35 & others go to the ?100 area i expect DT does cabs for the TW 25 /35 approx a tenner i think.

some real nice kit there cp, :)especialy the fergies with matching trailers though that fork on the jcb looks the part as well :) whats wrong with the 8280 ? i thought it was pretty good for detail considering it wasn't from the farmer plus range, matter of fact i showed a freind a pic of my 8280 & 5455 & at a glance he thought they were real tractors & he's a tractor driver

very nice chuchi, not a 1/64 fan but there is some great detail there & the addition of decals will finish it nicely

well that can't be right ? they've got to be both under sized in that case ,else you'd be damaging the gearbox something terrible & judging by the tyres he'd of \ done enough work to have made the gearbox go bang

you still need the pant over the top of them mind :D

yes it was & yes we'd better :D :D thanks to all for the nice comments & a big thanks to TM who got me started by getting the 2720 decals & for starting his 2wd 2640 else mine would still be in the box in the attic, looking very sorry for it's self as it was in a dire need of modifying .

the one powerstar was in was running in well worn tyres so looks can be deceiving .

a thankless task \

shame i'm cak-handed i'd love to get mine looking that good, very nice :) :) :)

thats your impressed look, sorry mate but rabbit in the headlights spring to mind just kidding ? if the power gets too much for you then give me a ring ? sorry mate just jelous beyond words ?\ got to get me in a cab again this summer ? ?

really F-P i may just do that this week then , thanks :)

yes when i got some pennys i'll be investing in a rubber stamp only ?6.99 for one & it takes about 2-3 weeks to get . when / if i do i'll post them up

it,s just a floor from an old shed at the mo ,& the time i wanted to start it was last sept just as the wether changed so it's still just an old shed floor

aye ? i thought you said they were stamped ? :)

here she is finished . the cab as you know was glassless so i put a plastic sheet through the laminater,cut to shape & size & glued, job done :) this is the last pic is all of them now, at the start of last week i had 3 2680's all in differing condition, left > right? 2640 2wd? > 2680 4wd > 2720 4wd :)

missed this post marky ,good luck with the build , i can't even start mine till summer

well is it staddle or stadle?

metal :o that means the older blue 6600 either had a longer pin than the economy version or the TW 20 had a slightly different axle casting to the newer 5610 maybe

2 questions 72F why is it silver ? when doing the 2640 covo last night i took the axle from a economy 6600 & went to replace it with a 5610 front 4wd axle but the casting wouldn't go back together ? will the axle casting need fileing down a bit for the axle pin to fit ? as i've done this before years ago & had no problems.

every little helps

you'd have had to get grey to pull them both out :D do you know the chap well ,& did he offer you a job ?

yeah c'mon 4c, if your 1/32 topline drivers could talk they'd all want DAF XF's :)

car boots & e-bay from now on then :D

if this works out will you try to do the others ? or get a good finish & quit while you're ahead ?
