Claaspower Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm not criticising your work as it's a fantastic job but is it just me or does the colour not suit it? I mean the Fendt looks well in green and even better in black but to me a John Deere will only look good in green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I cant believe youve gone to the trouble of removing the stickers and painting it blue and then replaced the same WRONG stickers Its an 7530 NOT a 6930 as indeed Wiking have now acknowledged their obvious (to me anyway) willy up!

WRONG stickers > sorry i do not under stand what you are trying top say ,or you don't know what you are trying to say ??? .let me say it came in a wiking box with 6930 on it and it got 6930 back on it ,i will just say one other thing i always remove any stickers when i paint a model then replace them ,please do your home work on the whole subject before saying any thing what make you say it is a 7530 any way ,constructive criticism i can take but what is your point ???

jp7810 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 his not saying theres anything wrong with the decals you done,its the fact the tractor should have been decaled as a 7*30 not 6930 in the first place by wiking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convo Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 cheers Paul for clearing that up ,i have it clear in my little brain now ,but maybe the whole wiking 7*30 / 6930 thing should have its own topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
