BC Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I bought the 2008 Farm Show Magnum 275 tractor by Ertl the otehr weekend and personally I think it is a nice looking model. Anyone else bought it and what do you think of it ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texas Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I Have this one also. It is great model but the hitch is Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Well the hitch doesn't really bother me as I don't play with them any longer ;D. Anyway I like most things Case / IH and especially that old Farmall tractor being unloaded from the lorry on the side of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Yea I know Texas but as long as you are not caught on camera you should be all right ;D Seriously though I tend not to take models out of their boxes these days especially Britain's with those horrible tie wires. With this model you cannot see it from the outside of the box and it is a rather clever way they have packaged it with just a plastic base and top that just lifts off. Personally I think I prefer this type of packaging but there will be others who will like to see the model through the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 great looking box.. and i wished they packed them always without those blasted wires. the model is also very nice. good realistic detail, except for the hitch(i hope that will change with Britains/Ertl in the future.) looking forward to the 1:32 scale Farmall 140 that is coming(maybe that is one of the classics that RC2 Britains was talking about?)

BC Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Do you know when the Farmall 140 is due out ??? I wish they would do a Farmall A or Cub to go with my real ones though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hello Erik, i did buy one model quite some time ago. a Fordson F of UH 1:43 i believe. way before it was released. it had no box or base plate as it is normal. but looks fine to me. i havent seen any faults so far.. I know a JD collector who buys his 1:64 models this way as it is much cheaper with shipment costs as it would be from the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
