fred Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have a plastic Ros 1114 1/32 scale tractor which I would like to convert into a Massey. I like the Britains 698t conversion on here recently but would rather have a 699 that I have driven, but have not seen any that I like. The Britains 2640 chassis I feel is to large. The other tractor is a 399, again the conversions I have seen do not look quite right. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Tackle it yourself Fred! I'm not sure which model it is you mean... is it the one with the 600 series cab on it? The 2000 series chassis might well be too big.... I'm sure if you start a topic and show your progress and ideas I'm sure you'll get some suggestions on what parts to use.... I know the 2000 series bonnet has been modified for use on 600 series models successfully... That just leaves you with which chassis you want... how about using the age old conversionist's method of bolting it all onto a UH chassis?

Tractorman810 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 for the 699 britains volvo bm chassis, or i have used a uh celtis chassis in all honesty i recon the uh celtis would be good for the 399 to, the 3125 699 and 399 were all similar size tractors, and when the 699 is besdie my 698t and 690 it loks pretty spot on size wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
fred
I have a plastic Ros 1114 1/32 scale tractor which I would like to convert into a Massey.
I like the Britains 698t conversion on here recently but would rather have a 699 that I have driven, but have not seen any that I like.
The Britains 2640 chassis I feel is to large.
The other tractor is a 399, again the conversions I have seen do not look quite right.
Thanks.
