I think they probably would be shot. It's the japanese that own them now remember

There's plenty of announcements due soon on 2013 including FTF's next model. They are keeping much of it very tightly sealed but should be some news within a few weeks.

Rory, you're right. I didn't study the picture enough to notice they have missed off lots of other details if it were a tribute to the owners customised machine. Let's see what Marianne says about it.

I guess Marge could be honouring the real tractor first as a tribute to the owner. They then have possibilities of producing a few different versions of the machine with correct more authentic clothes on.

They are aware of the situation so we'll wait and see if those images should have actually been released. Hopefully a tweak of the wheels and axles may correct the major issues.

I've heard some rumours. Might be able to confirm something this end shortly!

Rear Wheels aswell by the looks of things Paul.

Had the zoom lens out of the bedroom window the other evening snapping the OSR being cut at last!

The quadtrac is in transit from China to the UK I believe. So I guess a September release is on the cards.

Colin, the show organiser has just informed me that dioramas and displays are very much invited to the show this Autumn. There are cash prizes to the best displays. FTF and our Magazines stand will also look to put out a display, as well as the 'Timed Tractor Challenger' once again. I had a great suggestion from another member about replicating the Quadtrac World Record in 1/32 scale.....bodes for a relatively simple yet, impressive layout so if you are going to Spalding. Please feel free to bring your quadtracs and any implement. We want as many as we can get on the display. It's good that there is now quite a wide choice with Britains, Ertl, Siku and UH all producing the model now. If you are interested in bringing one down, drop me a PM or email.

There's just something quite interesting about them I think. More so, the colour variations.

Very interesting topic this one. Thanks for sharing the examples bill.

Congratulations! Fantastic style with those wellies! Nice touch!

A few updates then. Sorry for any duplicates! I took photos of them all at the weekend.

Apologies for the year delay in updating this. Several more now to add. I am going to create a collection topic on the forum for them for easier viewing.

It was an interesting sale. I was in attendance in the room. The rare implements caught many by surprise although the trailer one was particularly high! I'm not sure whether they mixed up grey with green on the description as I didn't notice a grey rear dump. The orange one always does well though. I got what I wanted though, the promotional plough.

Bill it was Carrington 2011. Unfortunately not mine although a trip to Zwolle with it sounds like a plan!
