PDC Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 When I heard Replicagri were doing a Fiatagri M160 and the roof was not great my mind got thinking. I already sell cast resin ERTL 70 series roofs which are a good match to the later generation TM's : Anyway I got a M160 on Friday and got her apart :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 So far i've painted some of the blue bits today lots of masking is required as the cab frame is cast with the floorpan then the windows are pushed in from the outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I hope to build a few of these for Spalding and also make a transkit so people can build their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyjack590 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 would it not be easier to use the 8560 as it's already blue but it looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM Farm Model's Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 i had the same thing on my mind paul and your roofs are spot on for the job but one thing why did you use the m160 you say its easyer to paint but it has to be primed anway or is it just to save haveing to paint the chaissy black ?

Paul Palmer Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 hi Paul very nice work.Will you have different model no in the kits eg TM160 190 etc. i think the 175 and 190 were longer wheelbase than the rest of the tm range,so wouldnt look right on the relicagri chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
