IAINH1973 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Started this a while ago, looks like uh will beat me to the finish! I am still looking for a colour match for the uh 7810 blue. Any ideas? [ftp=ftp:// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 would imagine you local dealer would have an areasol to match or close to it at least . get that front tyre turned else all the die hard ford saddo's will never forgive you .......ever & was blu-tack on fords options list as an exhaust stabiliser , as struggling to see it on my 86/87 ford tractors price list nice conversion mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 that looks a tidy build, and having seen the new uh models in the flesh, far better on them chunky wheels, so don't be put by them coming out thats for sure, agree on the aint, local nh dealer will have a ford blue in ,it may not be a 100% perfect match for the uh cab, but the windows pop out ok on them so you could always respray that frame to match if its to far off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 cracking build,i take it the cab is off the ford 7810? nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 This is mega nice!!!! Really smart and looking at the amount of donor parts from so many different sources... . I dare say it ha snot been the cheapest make! Well worth it though, very very smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Well not a Ford fan but this is some Stuning WORK! I think as Sean already mentioned you don´t have to be afraid of the UH version! Much better this way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 That will look very smart when finshed i reccon. Very nice work. I agree with the others,the UH version could be better. Even the cab roof on the UH Gen2 version seems different to their 7810 which sould not be the way. Cant wait to see yours when finshed. Top class. :)If it were me tough id have it as a TW-35 & not the 8830. TWs are the legends when it comes to big Fords. Just a tought.

IAINH1973 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks for all the comments, will hopefully get it finished over the next month. The steps are modified white metal ones which came from DBP models. I got a few bits off him to do this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brown Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Yes very good work, how long did it take to complete the build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAINH1973 Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 The britains chassis has been on my bench about 4 years ! , build speeded up a bit when uh 7810 came out. I have lots of projects on the go and dont finish them very often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I echo what Will said. BETTER THAN UHs model by far. Cant wait to see both when finshed. What are your plans for the 6600 in the backround? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
