Agrium Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Got the 8400 and Wiking stripped down, parcelled it all up and then moved house. So much stuff everywhere. Took AOL 12 days to click Broadband on..... :'( to$$3rs anyway. up and running now. This is a project for my cabinet. Wanted to do it for about 3 years now. Bit of a cut and shut going on. Wheelbase shown is correct, 88mm for a 7810, which means I need to lengthen the 6930 chassis by 4mm. Obviously there are a few things not right, like the front mudguards, but Im playing with the running chassis at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Have a feeling that this will be nigh on one of the best 7*10 series tractors the world of 3-2 has seen. . .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 steady Tris. I hope so. So much work in it though, might have to get a few runs done so I can have a variance of each model in my cabinet. Thought I'd better crack on before one of the ever growing list of 1/32 mass market companies does a corker for £30. Alot of it it not so much the look of the model at the end, its the headaches and problem solving along the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
