PDC Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Right i've just took some pictures with my camera rather than my phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 I removed the front and rear linkages from the model along with the front axle, I then fitted a Siku rear linkage and a set of white metal weights on the front along with a front axle from a Britains JD 4020, I also left off the weird rear wheel weights and plugged the centres with solid plastistut rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Very nice work Paul, much prefer the variation you've created to the original UH release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Very nice work Paul, much prefer the variation you've created to the original UH release.

jdc Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Very nice Paul - good to see some models being 'downsized' to realistic tractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 it looks good in 2wd and its good the front linkage on the original is a bit stupid no-one would ever have one on a real one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Nice model but I wouldn't change it to a 7421 by just adding different decals if I were you. Wouldn't do the model much good as it is totally different model. But good to see someone tackling also the less well known makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Proxima were all the same size with different power ratings \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
