whats the score with the flag on the bonnet then??? not seen one in real life like that, but did see that adams farm on country file has one? looks quite nice so may get that one at least

New Holland have done a real tractor with the flag on the bonnet and taken it round the shows, I am sure I have seen it in Classic Tractor. If I get either of the models it will probably be the flag version

I think i read somewhere that it was done first to celebrate the royal wedding but it is now a factory fitted option for all T6000 or T7 short wheelbase tractors. Having a look around the web now to see if there is any more info about it.

It's just an option i think New Holland released just to be different, a bit like the blue power models, and in a way they work as people are interested in them and i think it's a good idea to have something a little different. You could say it is because it was built in England but i have seen them with Scottish flags on too, it was out way before the royal wedding so i don't think it's anything to do with that, however when the royal wedding was on i heard they made it a free option just for a short time only while the wedding was going on.

The Union Jack flag option was indeed done for the Royal wedding. You can get it as an extra now in the UK. They had done before on the T7060 I think last year.

That MX 150 is another killer for the convo specialists! Plenty done like that already.

Regarding Tractor Connection's/IHF Panningen MF 135. One with flattop mudguards was done last year for the same show. LF: What is wrong about the model?

I don't think it's 'the gentlemans game' to openly criticise the 135 here in public... not by me anyway... but I'll gladly send you a PM with the errors I can find from the photograph... two of them are fundamental flaws sadly.

BUT... it's a good step in the right direction I must say.. and a nice model too

The fenders are actually correct (I'm pretty sure, without looking it up) that flat top fenders were an option at this time... or a 'choice' at least. The fender on this MF135 are a reproduction of the MF 'safety shell' fender which came into being in about 1962 I believe (35x era)... they differ from the older 'clamshell type' by the fact that the fender meets the floorboards at the front, thus eliminating the risk of the driver getting his foot caught in a moving wheel.

what he means is when the royal wedding was on, they made the union jacks a free option to celebrate it, just while the wedding was on
