Rear wheels do look a touch to big but i expect there is one out there somewhere with oversize wheels ,being 2 wheel drive it dont really mater 👍

Thank you smithy i couldn’t find anything else that suited anyway the originals just didn’t look right

Tried a 2wd conversion of a 3080 , front axle off a 188 with Britains case wheels. The rears are off a Britains Renault cergos but they are probably a bit big

That is very nice Paul 

Really enjoying this keep it coming 👍

Upgraded the fertiliser spreader to a new Amazone with weigh cells and section control 

 

Nice bit of kit, exactly the same as the one I have just got, good luck with soil mapping if you are attempting it though!

That is sweet.

Would look really at home with a Britains Chafer sprayer behind it

Thank you, yes I feel it needs a sprayer on it , I’m trying to fit a Britains everard to it

Is there any release date for the mb trac

Thank you jack, I’m trying to cover the back drop up a bit not 100% on it it’s a bit boring

no you havnt ted, its got part of the roof missing 😆😆😆😆 good few paint brushes?? gone into that i suspect looks spot on

Haha, my patients was starting to fray by that point. Not paint brushes no, but the girlfriends horse is a bit cold now

They look awesome James , that’s exactly what those series land rover’s needed! If you ever go into production I would definitely be very interested 👍

Slowly getting there… I’ve found you have to be rather quick soldering the smaller parts (like bonnet catches) as they tend to melt with the iron on 300. I have also performed the drop test in which it did quite well🙄

Looks brilliant 👍

Cheers jack I need to get some proper lights in it though

Very nice job there jack

After re reading this thread to remember how to do it, I’m having another crack at soldering. I’m trying it on an old scaledown model which is a lot easier ( especially with instructions thank you Zac ) which should be a bit simpler the traction engine I started this topic on, of which I have progressed no further and is now back in its box. Nevertheless here is a start on the tractor…The two sides of the main casting and rear together…

The iron, flux and metal

Neat job👌
