MODELFARMER Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 From the website Autumn '09 will see the launch of our first "Ready-built" model tractors for those who prefer just to collect rather than build aswell, but these first 2 models will only be available as limited editions of just 500 units each worldwide and will be all metal, cabbed tractors with the same detail as our kits and not suitable to attach other manufacturers "play" implements to, purely static display pieces.

ploughmaster Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Having seen it first hand, I can say it is at least as good as it looks. It fills a need that many have felt for a long time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Looking good. My only question is with the colour, it looks too dark a blue. I'd say its the picture Nigel is not so slow on the colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 That looks absolutely superb Nigel, great work, all the best with this venture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 thanks for all the positive comments, sorry it's been so long coming.It's been several years in development and hindered new kit releases greatly, hence why so many I have spoken about have still not materialised. ...... Regarding the paint shade, the photos are not quite the same as the models in the flesh, indeed ,the 2 FUJI cameras I have access to, produce very different richness of colour and of course all the real tractors you see will have faded lighter from their original over the years and has been said before different batches of paint vary today like they seem to have done since time immemorial, but it's good to hear constructive criticism........Oh!, & by the way the box shades are not meant to be the Leyland colours, they're just what we've been using on our catalogue cover for over 11years!.. .

Eurodeere Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for the reply Nigel. Yes paint shades do differ and fading does occur but having had the misfortune to have known three of these tractors new the paint was lighter than shown in the photo. Any rear view shots of the model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
