Thanks for the comments guys, Just working on the interior tonight, hopefully get this one all finished by the weekend

Front and back spray tanks Brian. . . just to finish her off I like it. Nice to see a different brand being altered.

Plans for a potatoe planter on the back are on the cards. Might even get started to it this week

As above,  except I had to look more than twice Fantastic

Thanks for the comments guys

good thinking ;)b  looks good were did you get the wheels from ?

Wheels are from Ricky at Modelfarmer.co.uk

Me too Brian. . . . you may have found it easier to paint them in the frames first, apart from the hoist.

I've left the single items on the sprues to paint them, from past experience with lorry kits I used to find that painting first created hassle when trying to glue them together :'(. Not sure if this way is going to be any easier or not

Heres the result of wheels being needed elsewhere

After much deliberation as what to do with the wheels, I decided on Valtra T series wheels all round, which I think helps greatly.

What do you think? Comments welcome.

I've been working on these for the last few days amongst other things

The cab is from a MC115 (it got a high roof cab from a MTX), MC115 and CX105 cabs are the same and the CX95 had the open platform style cab.

Thanks for all your comments

Thanks guys.

She'll be used for general run around jobs, fencing trailer etc. Maybee get a small grass topper for her.

Indeedy... happy birthday Brian...

No Masseys then  \ :'(

Don't worry Marky,

Birthday money will buy a 5480 and maybee something to go on the back of it

Be good to have a new Massey in the fleet again.

Cheers,

Got some pennies, to buy even more models

Also got a ftf 7000, thanks to Mrs ih634 and Dave Towse

wow yere lucky.  man how can a farmer/cpntractor justify spending ?30k on a set of tracks for a combine though, youd want to be doing some acres to make that up, even for a tractor as in the case above its crazy money and as id imagine they are much more susceptible to ware and damage, i know they have there merits obviously but i dont think i could ever run them if i was contractor id get no sleep with worry and stress  ;D, incidently when getting my digger a while back we worked out a deal where we were getting bran new wide pads for slightly over ?1000.

We used to/still do wonder how it is justified, but they sure are popular with our combine customers. Some of the reasons we are given are less compaction, better traction, better stability ( long unloader spouts ,hilly ground and soft tyres can equal nervous driver), less stress on the drive train and a lot easier to travel on the road due to less width and improved ride comfort.

Not surprised you had to say SUPERB 3 times Mark,

Look very good

Sheer brilliance!!!

Yet another masterpiece

I'm pretty sure I would, having already seen the mock up first hand. As said above, I would have to see the finished cast article before deciding for sure.

Well done guys, looks great. Certainly does the hobby proud. Hope I can get to see these displays for real sometime. Have to plan future holidays a bit better me thinks

Well done Paul,

not sure

think they were owned by sbf group???

Fraser trailers were part of the sbf group which went under a few years ago. The rights to fraser trailers were bought over buy another trailer company, I don't know who. The old factory has now been demolished. I used to work for the same group in the machinery retail business, the sb of sbf, which was bought by the maagment team and became Sellar Agriculture Ltd, which I still work for.

My Memorys not the best, but I'll keep on looking anyway

I managed to get one last year unboxed with the maize header. Was there one with a grass header too? Sure I saw pics of one a few years back.

Richard.... thats great mate... well done you indeed... I hope you are pleased with the results... you should be proud of yourself  

Very nice indeed, I echo all the comments from above, what a way to start!!!

My two are 413 and 1750.
