This is something I have in the pipeline

Its a completely scratchbuilt bonnet

Massey Ferguson 5455 Hi Vis

The paint isn't a great colour match so that will be changed and different details added in black etc

You can also choose to cancel the transaction,

This gives you options (e.g buyer wants to cancel sale, the seller wants to cancel the sale etc) straight away rather than having to wait for several weeks to get fee back

The only down side to this is it relies on the buyer accepting to cancel the transaction otherwise you can't get a refund on final value fee (might be awkward due to buyer being from Belgium)

Thanks!

I made the buckrake myself,

Universal Hobbies have let themselves down big style here,

I was really hoping to finally get a Universal Hobbies Massey that wouldn't end up with a price tag of almost double the cost of the production model due to having to buy parts to correct the mistakes

I'm throughly disappointed...

I've no experience with claas myself but was reading on farming forum one night and they didn't get a good write up,

Like I said this is not my opinion just something I have read,

The title of the thread was Claas tractor am I mad,

This will be going on a double chop outfit the same as what we run at home,

Tractors with front linkage in my area aren't very comman

Thanks,

Yeah looking forward to moira, this will be my first time,

Yes I made the buckrake aswell,

Thanks

Yeah its just mist on a fresh summer morning haha

Hard to know how much time I spent altogether as have been doing it on and off

Thanks

I will be at moira with a small display,

I have a few more conversions to come before then, but will be tight for time to get everything planned completed

Think a tractor and rake would be a better option as the grass can be left out to wilt...

This is something I've been working on for a while

It started out life as:

UH McCormick

Siku Massey 4270

Tim Toys Massey 4260

I find the Siku cab looks better than the Tim one and the Tim bonnet is more detailed than the Siku one hence the use of both

I am fairly pleased with the finish but Glue decided to come out the side of the tube onto the cab glass

Then when placing cab on after completion I had a driver inside who was too tall (just a britains driver) stopping cab going fully on so it had to be removed meaning the paint flaked off in a few places,

Although these aren't that noticable it has taken the shine off it in my opinion,

The buckrake is scratchbuillt and the beacon is folded down so doesn't get caught on low rooves

All painted with genuine MF colours from the colour chart

Hope you like,

Rear wheels is usually just twist and pull, Carefully

Front if you remove the front hub on majority of them it reveals a screw, done so by putting a fine screwdriver and prizing off I find best

Thanks for the positive comments!

Yes the model number will really finish her off as it looks bare as it is

Wheel weights on,

Finally got her all finished today except the 8480 decal as the one I got form Henri doesn't have dynaVT on it so will get one next time

Very pleased with the result, Alot of time and effort require but it has been worth it and I've enjoyed making it

Anyway here's the finished article,

It went from this...

To this...

Thanks!

Glad you like it,

Just need to get a suitable implement for it now

Thanks for the great comments,

Really appreciate it! Makes the hard work worthwhile,

I'm very pleased with how it is coming on so far, ordered decals off Henri Walker today so will get all finished in time for that arriving

I'm going to University in September so might be abit mad spending this kind of money on a model, but its definately worth it,

Can't wait to get it finished then rigged up with nice big set of Claas triples

Cheers lad,

Flared arches are now done and happy with the wheels so they'll be staying

Here are a few changes I've made to the Universal Hobbies Massey 6475

Think it looks better than the standard model

Hope you like

Definately looks the part!

Good improvement of standard wheels

Unfortunately this is a very expensive conversion,

There are 3 tractors used in this:

Wiking 936

UH 7499

Siku 8280

Totalling well over £80 for only parts and all the rest of the models are pretty much useless

This is something I've been working on over the last couple of days,

Always wanted one of these for my collection so thought I'd better get a move on,

Just have to say a word of thanks to B O R (Brian O'Reilly) for the idea after reading his topic on here, Although I made a few small changes,

Still a right bit of work to do, but this is how it stands at present

Hope you like and all comments welcome

Should I flare the arches?

Wheels are a combination of britains floatation wheels and some from farmmodels.nl

Front linkage is from a Universal Hobbies 7499 which I used the cab from for a different project which will be posted up soon

Thanks! Thats exactly the plan for my collection... To have a range of models that no one else will have

I do intend to put a range of local number plates on my tractors eventually would be a nice touch

Thank you very much for the help Paul!

Finally got her finished off today,

Also managed to get myself an MF colour card for future models

Added a front linkage for the Slurry Kat once built,

Added mudguard mounted worklights to help the driver once the days get shorter and also repaired his step
