spanner Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I just heard that MarGe models have competition with their Ford 7610 as Universal Hobbies are about to ship their version of the 7610 in 1:32nd Scale and will be producing Gen 1,2 and 3 model all around £35.00. This will be interesting. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I doubt Marge could stop anybody else making them either. It would be a shame for MM if UH did trounce them but then it would be nothing new. \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalethecaptain Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 UH model: £35 Marge Model: £58 or there about. I like UH models in general, but the rear linkages are terrible, so the Marge wins hands down for accuracy. I have ordered the Marge 7610 and I have a few conversion plans for the model, I think its a cracker. I had thought of doing them with the UH 7810, but after the PMA linkage, front weights and touch up paints, which comes to about £18, plus the time, the UH model is now knocking on the door of the Marge, and is still not going to be as polished... I don't think Marge should be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Naa. UH aint doing a 7610. But a few other Fords by UH i would welcome alot. Marge's version is the berrys. Its on my shopping list anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 How do you know that UH are not? Noone seems to know either way with fact yet.

I cannot speak for others but only for little ole me, as a trade customer of UH we get a production schedule through every quarter (not completely accurate) and we do occasionally speak to the directors and employees of UH who are happy to discuss various subjects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 the way uh are jack booting over other makes does get anoying at times, such a shame they cant see the other gaps in the market and do say david browns, case 1690s , other fords like a tw35 or 15?? 8210, decent old time implements to go with them , stuff like that, fill the mf gaps with say more 100 series 200 series 600's, 2000 series, theres a huge range of combines tht could be done, the markets far than big enough for all to exsist without taking others ideas, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Great UH making a model of a tractor already being made... Well done UH, maybe they could make it with a porous block tin hat on... a nice TW would be better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 In reality it can't be avoided in a commercial business such as UH . Do we really expect them to pick models with a lesser appeal ? As these classics become more popular they will enter the radar of large organisations such as UH and others. Whilst I admire the likes of Marge models having the cahunas to take the plunge and make a model such as this.. The real skill in the deal is to build a watertight contract that will prohibit the likes of the competition producing the same or similar model. Or in the absence of obtaining such a deal then you knowingly take the risk. It's a dog eat dog world, the world of commerce.. Darwinian really.. Sad but a fact of life none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
