MATTY 7530 Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Please make a comment on the bonnet cause i don't think its right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPR Models Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Nice start indeed Matty. I think the bonnet will be fine if you put a grill on mate.I usually use the bonnet from this Ertl plasic tractor when i build the 7000 series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinycoll Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 what do you cast the bonnet in can you buy a casting kit or do you have to make moulds i tried to make a few from fibreglass resin but im sure im missin out on something more obvious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATTY 7530 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 I made my bonnet and got a mate to cast them for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Well mate, You wanted an opinion... Careful with the paint, it looks very thick to me and maybe some of the details will be lost? Also you need to change the cab interior to a normal 7000, no commandarm armrest etc.... In general though, looks good. Are you going for a 7X00 or a 7X10 series? Check on the weights, I am pretty sure the 7X00 didn't ave that weight. Keep going though, looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
