Tractorman810 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 thats looking pretty dam impressive, did you scrap a complete uh tucano then or find a bust one from someone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTY 7530 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Tris: the beacon will be staying it just doesn't look the best in that picture. Yes it did seem stupid at the time breaking a complete tucano but seeing the JD painted I won't regret it. Thanks for all your comments.

MATTY 7530 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Got started to the header using the tucano header cut down and also using the JD 2266 header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATTY 7530 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 A few more, i'm really really pleased with the result, just need to add more detail and wait for Henri Walker to make the decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 That looks brilliant Matty, top marks for having the confidence to perform major surgery on a UH Tucano, it's looks like it was well worth the effort, lovely model.

Deere-est Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Good for you for being so pleased, I'm not surprised. Your work has transformed a great combine into a brilliant looking conversion. I echo the thoughts on cannibalising such a good shelf model but boy has it paid dividends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
