CX820Joe Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 It'd be great to see some better photographs of this model, especially up against the FW30. Unless someone beats me to it, I'll try and do that tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Cheers for that catkom, don't suppose you have an FW-30 for comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Sorry FNHIR,don't have an FW30,best I can do is Steiger Panther and Claas Xerion Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 No probs, I was just wondering how it compared to the FW-30 detail-wise, but I'll be buying it anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 CX820Joe might put up his photo's later today,he was going to do a comparison,I used to have this one,wish I'd kept it now Regards Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks for the pictures, I think that looks like a great model/toy, it's good to see the steps are done better than the FW30. Well done Britains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am also extremely impressed with this Tractor, it knocks spots off the FW-30 and thats one of my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ok here you go - sorry these were hastily taken as camera battery was on the way out, will do some better ones when I get chance, but hopefully these will give an idea. Apologies for the messy background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 That looks much better detail wise, only concern is that the cab roof looks warped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 That looks much better detail wise, only concern is that the cab roof looks warped? It does look warped yes, same as on Joe's photos - though I wouldn't let it put you off buying one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I wouldn't say it's warped , dished maybe,it just "sags" in the middle, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks for sharing the comparison pictures, that really does look very smart, top effort by Britains some nice detail, will definitely be adding one to my collection of prairie monsters at some point.

ihatepoundland Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I wouldn't say it's warped , dished maybe,it just "sags" in the middle, Regards Joe. That all means warped to me Will still get one or two however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margerisons Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 hitch wise, what would you rate it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy140 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 looks like a much better improvement on the old one. at least they're going in the right direction. only thing i would say is that the back end looks a quadtracish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just got mine, very happy with it. Engine detail was a nice suprise, unlike some other models it isn't cast in with no voids, there is even a radiator fan in there. All mudguards are detatchable as well, not sure if they would be suitable to improve a FW30 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 doesn't look bad does it, like the linkage overal not bad but the skid infront of the front wheels could of been a bit better detailed like the 30 has got. another step forward for britains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
