Niels Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Two of my latest custom models, both purchased at the recently held model show in Zwolle (Holland) so I can't take any credit for them! The Case IH MX 135 is based on Universal Hobbies' McCormick MTX model. The chassis and bonnet were shortened and everything sprayed in the correct colours plus adding decals. The only problem is that the gear lever in the cab isn't right but other than that it looks fine IMO . The Fendt Favorit 818 is based on Weise Toys' Fendt Favorit 824. Again a fairly simple conversion. Front wheels came off UH's Claas Cougar mower. The rear wheels are unknown to me. The fronthitch was taken off and an original Fendt weight added. With the exhaust on top of the bonnet it suddenly looks a completely different model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 One more picture comparing the standard 824 model with the 'new' 818. Looks a lot bigger on those tyres. They're a tight fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Some very nice conversions Niels. Very nice spray work on the mx 135, and those wheels on the fendt makes it Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 The Jaguar 900 from Norscot you mean? Seems very well possible indeed. Don't have that model in my collection but I think another mystery has been solved. Thanks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 I am quite sure you saw it Johny as it was only on your neighbouring stand so you didn't had to travel far! I will be there next year, as ever. We've always got 30ft of tables in the back left corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
