MuirHillyBilly Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Cheers chaps. Dom I did think about those but it will set the front wheels too high I think, have ordered one and will check it out. Jack love that brochure, it's funny how Muir Hills are so popular abroad, they have cult following almost in places like Canada and some parts of Asia. Thanks to all you nice comments.

Tractorman810 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 lee, have you thought about using a white metal 4wd front axel?? get turning wheels that way, it may not be 100% acurate, but it would give you extra detail, you can get them from farmmodels.co.uk, WP246 front axle with mudguard - black - Joal in the spares area, they did them with or without mudguards, ones wider than the other, but the wheels could be made to fit ok seeing as they are white metal as its easy to work with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuirHillyBilly Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Cheers for the ideas guys. Because of the chassis on this one I'll have to stick with fixed steering, there is a hole in the bottom that I could solder up but think it will be too delicate to hold a moveable housing. Will plan ahead for next time Fred I'll get some more pictures up soon just working on the cab at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Some new pictures. The air filter is on fixed at the back by a mini screw. Also the rear lights are on, not exact bit I didn't fancy trying to paint them on. Next is the cab, front weights and interior..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuirHillyBilly Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Cheers chaps, I had to decide which cab to do as some of the series 2 Muir Hill 121's had a sliding door cab (this is the shape I chose) and others had an opening door design as in the brochure picture shown earlier. p.s that roof ain't the real one, that is in progress.
