MJB1 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 well after picking a candidate from 1 of 3 i decided to get the decals off a good one as the bonnet was in better condition the worst one has a landini 1000s grill glued on a magi-deutz air cleaner glued onto it & a glassless cab, the one i picked had the decals on the wrong way round . got the floorpan of & swapped it with one i painted black some years back for a cab refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 next up was the cleaning of the bonnet pannels ,as we all know you cannot remove thes decals without leaving some sticker glue behind all polished up & ready for the new decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32 farmer Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 very nice mjb1 but where do you get the decals from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 last thing to do is get the cab looking a bit more realistic by using a marker pen & run it along the raised mouldings that are the window frames to get the rubber strip effect i also coloured the inside of the cab black (taking out the glass) the drivers door was also blacked as this is how i remember them in real life ?

MJB1 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 the cab & wheels are coloured silver because they were bought during the time when britains were releasing them with white cabs & wheels? a few arty shots? very nice mjb1 but where do you get the decals from you could say they were a present from seanta xmas :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 just by changing the decals i recon the 27 looks bigger than the 26 \ even i must admit they make a great pair of models & i'm chuffed as nuts with them? i recon this tractor was one of the last great models to come from the older britains range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Lovely job Marcus - and your'e very true.. somehow the 2720 does look much bigger than the 2680 - nice job on the bonnett as well - did you use a polishing compound with your dremmel as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
