B O R Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ive also noticed sometimes mf add wee bits here and there to their brochures maybe to make things look sportier....ive seen quite a few things in their brochures when ive been studying them as im building a model that were,nt quite right,example in the 3000/3100 brochure the decal on 1st page on the 3120 has been modified and on over the page where it shows a 3120 in action,study that pic it,s actually a 3095 redecalled,it can sometimes lead to making mistakes that are not neccessarily your own fault,ive noticed lots of tiny things,so i suppose the real things hard to beat if you can find it....

MJB1 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 think you'll find that much of the early euro spec 2000 tractor leaflets had US promotional pics included, just like some of the JD 7000 series tractors were aimed at euro land , but had US spec pics in them , & theres quite a difference between them ! my opinion paul , go fit the decal, the fuel tank is replaceable if you dont like it anyway my preference would be not to have the decal , it looks american , or should that be tacky \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Save the transfer for the day you build a U.S. spec 2000 series. dont think i will be building a us spec, theres just something i dont like about them, i think its the tyres and the tread of the tyres and those stupid huge warning triangles i could go on,paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
