And do those forager rails fit onto Claas siku 960s? Yes the sumo weights blocks are a new product from us made directly from sumos blue prints so they are perfect to scale made from brass and resin the rails will fit on the claas forager as the general layout is the same and will fit with minimal adaptations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

convo Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 The best thing about the Swan neck extension with it having brass super structure it will not sag or snap off , we have tested the prototype and once it is mounted it will not come back off or snap or go out of shap even with a load on as a display ,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Do you use special masking tape when painting these models pete? I always get a bit of paint seep through even when I'm sure ive got the tape positioned firmly in place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPS Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 A handy tip I've picked up from plastic modelling sites is to put a thin layer of clear coat along the edge of the masking tape once all masked up. This has the effect of sealing any small gaps under the tape edge and stopping bleed through of the main colour. Being clear, any varnish bleed through isn't noticeable.I actually use Johnson's Klear floor polish, which can also be used a gloss varnish. Works well, can be used neat and brush painted.
