Psycho

Heres an example of a box making 1.5 times the price of the model itself, both sold by the same seller withing minutes of each other...

Pure Madness!!

YIKES!!

If he gets a buyer for that, then mines going on ebay next week!!

Anyway its not rare at all, he's really stretching the truth with that statement.

How can something be rare when its still readily available at all farm toy shops?

Im sure I PM'd you earlier Mark with all the information but Im a bit drunk now and I cant be sure if I did or not!! Check your PMs again anD then check your hotmail acconunt. All you need to know to get your greasy hands on this model should be there ;)

Aidan

Price is 60 euros or 40 squids to the brits  ;)

PM'd you Mark and forwarded you a bigger picture of it to your email addy.

From what I can see it has some form of "Motor" probably one of those friction types..wind them up and watch them fly.. :)

the box looks good too and Ive seen the scale - its 1/25

Also looks like it comes in kit form but I would say it clicks together without the drama of glueing your fingers together!!

Aidan

here we go

hold your horses Marky!! Tried to upload the photo but it was too large - just off to reduce it a bit now....

Just saw this for sale on a German website - never seen one before a MF165 with cab.

A bit plasticy but seems to look accurate enough and is selling for 60 euros which is about 40 pounds

Its by a company called Scalecraft and might interest a few of the Massey collectors out there......

This model is part of a set from a french magazine and is the latest one released. The one in the ebay link is from a chinese seller. I have noticed that a number of sellers from china are selling this range without boxes and have seen from the feedback that they are selling seconds so buyer beware - it also would explain the lack of boxes from these sellers. To answer the question - its not rare as its only just released!!

The going rate is about 14 quid for a boxed example. I have been buying this series from an ebay seller called Micky V who comes recommended by me

Aidan

OMG !!!

Theyre breeding like rabbits!! :o

Where is maddness all going to end............

amm ..err...by floggin them on ebay probably  :

It is a V8??  ...exhaust manifolds on both sides of the engine.

One of the best scratch builds I have seen...ever

FANTASTIC!!

Abosolutely hilarious ...laughed out loud at my pc, woke the family up  :D

Well Done!!

I think this is the one Jacco is on about

Aidan

I havent got mine yet but as Jason said its the only magazine that focuses on our hobby so I am happy to have a mediocre magazine as its better than no magazine!

However theres no excuse for not contacting the previous contributers and the editor should listen to feedback from the subscribers and aim to improve the quality and quantity going forward.

We just need to inform him of what we like to see as far as content goes and hopefully it will only improve - the last editor had the content spot on I feel..even though Im not really into contstruction models it was still interesting to read about them. My favourite articles were the ones by Martyn Reeve where he focussed on a particular make and discussed the various models made by the different manufacturers. Warner Halls' articles on his prototypes also made fascinating reading.

Phew....my longest post ever!!

Aidan

Yes you are right - how stupid of me!!! 

This is the photo I SHOULD have shown.....Thanks Moritz

I reckon I will get one - looks good in the photos anyway.

I love the dash detail - look at those clocks!!! mmmmm

If I do purchase I will let you know how I get on and throw up some photos

Aidan

This is a new scratch build for sale in France released later this month

Fiat 1300 DT with Cab

Its 135 Euro which is 90 pounds, shipping is extra.

You probably need a bit of French to order one but thats never stopped me before!!  ;)

This is the website that will be selling them:

www.pur-tracteur-passion.com

Guys

Thought I would share this with you - I bought the kits for the 1455XL and 1455 S direct from the guy who makes them in France for 115 euro which is 77 pounds. He has good english and all I have to do now is to find the time to build them!!

Kits are all resin even the wheels so a lot of skill is required to produce a finished article as good as the photos!!

PM me if you want his contact details.

Aidan

Must admit I love it Mattias ;D

Love the seat and brake levers too

One in the photo - the wheels and tyres are one casting with the tyres painted a different colour.

The one in the link has rubber tyres

I think thats the only difference..
