MPR Models Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 One of my favorite tractors is the mythical legend International 7488 which was the last in the line of their 2 +2 Tractors. They are so rare is because its only 16 made . I've always wanted this as a model and have had it in mind for a long time so now I saw my chance when Britains released their 3588 which may be a base for 7488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
