Popular Post The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 18, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 It's been a heck of a long while since I posted anything in here, time to put that right. Had an hour or so yesterday afternoon rearranging some of my County collection following a couple of recent arrivals from Bazza. Enjoyed lining up my fleet of 1474 and 1884s. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Realised that such has been the gap since I last posted in here there's quite a few things i've added in the last year or two I haven't posted up. So i'm going to try and fill in the gaps the best I can starting with this Schuco International 4166. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been intending to build one for a couple of years now as I've always liked the look of them, sort of a Doncaster 74 series on steroids!, but it keeps getting pushed down my list! Very tempted by one of those instead though, be interested to hear how you rate it please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon a man of your talents John could quite easily build something much more superior and significantly more functional than this. It's a nice display model, and appears to be accurate in terms of dimensions and proportions. But for a model that sits in Schuco's exclusive Pro R32 range of resin models it's a step backwards in terms of detail and finish compared to the Dutra models etc that have gone before. There's significantly less detail in this model, the rear hitch looks like an afterthought, the wheels move but are fixed straight so there's no functional steering and the paint finish has a dull mat appearance. It's not bad, but I personally don't think it justifies the £130 price tag. It has an unfinished, could-do-better feel about it. It almost looks like pre-production model. Lovely to have a 4166 in 1/32nd scale, but i'd have sooner preferred one by Ertl with the same level detail as they've incorporated into their NFTS tractors in the past.

I've been hopeing for years now that someone would produce a model of the 4166, and was pleased when I saw Schuco were going with this one until I read it was static and resin, And just did not look "right" plus it's very expensive for what you get, I did see somewhere there was a rumour ERTL were going to produce one as well, Here's hopeing.

Regards Joe. Everything crossed for an Ertl version in the future Joe. The paint finish, limited casting detail, and the resin tyres definitely let this model down. It just doesn't look like a finished model. I'd love to see 1/32nd scale models of the earlier 4300, 4100, and later 86 version of this tractor. Photographed a couple in preservation in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Schuco may well do the others and maybe a yellow version as well, But I reckon if ERTL do one it will look better in the metal, Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
