Iangalloway Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Well this is my first attempt at a conversion,she's a bit rough,but I'm quite happy with it.Might tidy it up in time. Quote
justy 46 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Thats very good ,for a first attempt. Keep it coming lad. Quote
Lord Ferguson Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Welcome aboard Ian and thanks for sharing your first conversion with us... one, I might add, that looks VERY nice indeed Keep up the good work Quote
Johny mf Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Welcome aboard Ian Not bad for a first try and i think whit some practice you can build some great models! Keep them coming Regards Johny Quote
Deere-est Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 That's taken fine shape Ian and whether it looks 'rough' as you say or not, the main thing is it looks like a 399 at first glance so you ain't done that bad! :) Quote
Tractorman810 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 welcome ian, must say thats a pretty impressive first attempt at a convo, do you have anything else planned?? Quote
robbo Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Nice old tractor, was it based in a PDC kit? I have got one and keep meaning to get round to making it but somehow never seem to find the time. \ \ \ Quote
justy 46 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Only parts i reconise on it are the casting , a Britains Reault 145-45 i think & the cab is a Britains MF 362 id say. Very good first model conversion. Quote
Iangalloway Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks for all the kind comments,guys.I've got an MF 290 and 390 on the go at the moment,same as this one...not perfect but good enough for me. Quote

Very good first model conversion. You're correct with the chassis Justin,rear wheels are from it too,the front wheels are also from the 362(rears).The bonnet is from a MF2680 and the floorpan is a SIKU MF264. Quote
case 1056xl mad Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 wow that is a good for a first try well done Ian :) Quote
Johny mf Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Curius about the next models you are building! Almost are going to think youre a massey man!? Quote
B O R Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 here is my 399..made from a wide variation of parts.good luck with your convo 1 Quote
reqen Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 wonderfull!!!! is marvellous!!, a great conversion!!!. Which chassis have you used? A DBP model??? Best regards! Quote
B O R Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 yea.a lot of dbp and a donor ford 7810.....the 399 is very desirable in model form,im sure we,ll see one along some time from a manufacturer but i couldnt wait and therefore put myself through the same torture you,re going through now of making one.........
