mr softie

hi tank have had the model since last tuesday, excellent cab detail a good heavy model good detail and very different from the sg2 model artic deeres a must for any collection (mind you i wouls say that being a john deere man) and well woth the price in my opinion regards brian

ive not opened the box yet but the detail looks stunning through the plastic window and also a good heavy model well worth the wait and looks good (or should i say stands out from ) the previous plow city cabbed artics, a must have in my opinion

just recieved in the post today the jd 8760 plow city 2010 model and the 8320r anhydrous ammonia set

id agree give b o r. a pm ive jusst collected a 1365 trailed mower and a few other models from him, trailed mower is 100% spot on and everything works as it should, excellent model maker

noel agco were giving out mini brochures with cloths, models keyrings etc and the white mf is advertised in that with part number at 29 so looks like the irish dealer is making serious mark up o his models

earnvale tractors at balbegie still had three during the week,

agco at the r.h.s. were saying there is one dealer in ireland sitting on 400 white`s charging 50 pound each

white agco mf was 29 pound

hi i dont know if the english john deere dealers are doing the half price offer on the 8430 precission tractor but the local dealers here in scotland heve been doing them for 29 pounds for the past five months as discontinued stock, regards brian

was at the agco stand at the royal highland show today and bought the 1/32 mf 135 industrial. uh 7499 and a white 8690# starting to get worried nothing green and yellow in sight

or depending on the age a 20

brian the detail on the 1365 mower is outstanding, and your eye to have the detail spot on works perfect as the real machine, i wouldnt have believed it possible to have such an excellent model in my collection, and the list continues your skills are excellent from mower, to the 3765 forager you have built for me and the numerous john deere 6 cyl 40/50 series you hace customised over the past few years stunning models from a very very talented man

hope you have a good weekend bill , im heading over the water to ireland tomorrow to pick up my models and b o r has emailed to say their is a local vintage near him so might make an apearance their, and on sun im selling ice cream at a vintage rally in dumfries a last minute booking

welcome to the ftf andy

re reply 15, the cab on the mf 35 looks like a duncans cab off a 135, you can see where pieces have been added eg round the rear fenders and at the joint with the bonnet and the roof looks like an addition too
