Johny mf Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Hello. A friend of mine is a contractor and he drive´s 2 Case IH 1056 XL tractors. One of the 2 i made 2 models of it one for my own collection and the other is for the owner Wim Smits. Wim and i go to difirent tractor shows and he his the proud owner of the MF 188 4wd and 2 Mc Cormick Roadless tractors. So when Britains announced that the would come with the 1056 XL i imediatly decided to convert one to one of Wim´s tractors! Wim liked the idea and asked me to make one for him to. So i did here the result of that: I put the rims and wheels of the UH MF 5480 under the model after they where spraypainted and i added 2 warning beacons on the roof. Also i put on the license plate with the name Smits on the cab! and i chainged the mirors because Wim´s tractors had that to. first the example: And then the models Quote
Johny mf Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 i hope you like the models not that much work or big conversion but i think the litle efford that put in is payed of to a more realistic model? Regards Johny Quote
Johny mf Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks for the reply´s lads! Looks to me there is not a lot of interest in these 2!? But anyhow Today i deliverd one of the 2 models to the owner of the real one and he whas verry exithed! He had me took some picture´s with the model on the real one so here they are! I hope the model looks like the real one in youre eye´s? Regards Johny Quote
