ertlerik Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I went to a big toyshow in Houten Netherlands and found this Zetor 8011 kit, I had seen this model before build, but never as the kit, I bought it and started to paint it, I think it will take me about a week to get it together when i work on it about an hour or so at night after work every day. Did any of you ever seen or build this kit, it is about 1/18 or 1/16 i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udimore Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Wow thats the first one I have ever come across apart from my old man has one built up in my parents lounge He has had it for years and years When we moved farms in 1979 they had a Zetor Crystal amonst others which he hated (Nigel Ford will testify from their ploughing match days) so as a joke he got given the model His has no box or anything just the tractor built up and I have spent hours trying to find out more information Very interesting..Is there a date of manufacture on the box ? Crikey I have something else to go on to dig a tad deeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udimore Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yes so is my Dad's hence my earlier comment "little brother" Must be earlier than 1991, looks like early 70's \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yes,I have the unmade kit in box like this too.Also some repainted Igra models (by me) in both Zetor & Ursus UK colours aswell as the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Are those IGRA Zetor models, in 1/43, really worth that much? I have two. One in immaculate condition which I bought second hand for 5 euros and the other with a loose frontaxle I got for free. Seems a rather good deal now! See the one on Ebay also misses the left mirror. Wondered if it was just mine who had that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
