powerrabbit Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Jack, I built one from a 1:86 white metal kit. Forget who the manufacturer was but if I can find the box I'll let you know. A good detailed model for the scale, a bit fiddely to build if you've got fat fingers. A good superglue is adequate to put it all together. Have only ever seen this particular Ferguson Brown, never seen another in any scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Is this of interest Jack ? / May be the same as yours Tim ?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-32-Ferguson-Brown-A-Tractor-traktor-tracteur-Browns-/200626502826?pt=UK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN&hash=item2eb6457caa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I recall the name Brown Models being advertised in the first published tractor magazine called Vintage Tractor but I can only remember them doing Fordson E27N's to be honest. On the Ebay model something about the curvature of the wings at the top don't look right in comparison to the real deal but that's my opinion.

On the Ebay model something about the curvature of the wings at the top don't look right in comparison to the real deal but that's my opinion. I remember the E27N as my father made one up, 30 + years ago . They occasionally turn up on eBay I believe they also made some John Deere's as well as other tractor models. I see what you mean about the wings, worse though is the sagging front axle There was a rumour about licensing irregularities, but it was only a rumour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Yes I did notice the front wheels were a bit too toed in so to speak Paul but I'm sure that would be a fairly easy fix for a good tractor model conversionist ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The model I have, as I said, was a 1:86 white metal kit with steel wheels. I was not aware that Brown's did one in the 1:32 scale, I know they did the E27N as a kit and also a Field Marshall, I have the E27N which I bought also as a white metal kit, there was a short article in one of the early 'Model Farmer' magazines on Brown's models. Brown's also did a Shire horse with harness kit as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
