Valley Axe Man Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Great conversion Dominic, that looks like an imber cab on a uh valtra with a 6 cylinder bonnet on. grand job ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMarshallModels Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks Guys. SLE is the type of box in her. Change gear with no clutch. or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Looks just like the real deal. The paint job is impeccable! [you]The[/you] best 8340 conversion I've seen, I just hope Imber can live up to this accuracy when their 8340 is released.

Deere-est Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Almost looks like it could be an Imber!! Really smart and clever how you have kept the front tombstone to make the.most of the Imber accessories. Are the lights painted or have you managed to use the Imber clear plastic lenses in there too? I have never known what S L E means either actually, I know what it does and for all the hours I have spent in them I like the spec very much. Anybody know? I presume the E stands for Electric/al being the difference to the SL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrol Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Great model - like it a lot. I think it could be a while before we see Imber produce once of these....perhaps as long as it's taken Ros to get to the F130 Winner! Not sure what SLE stands for - S usually stood for Special in cars from Ford - but the SL was the basic model I think. I agree that E presumably stood for Electronic....Special ________ Electronic?

DMarshallModels Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 thanks guys. The lights are painted in. The tomb stone is casted and so are the weights. imber tombstone but not imber weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Would the Imber headlights fit the cast bonnet? I know it's only a minor detail but when looking at the front end, silver paint doesn't do the rest of your work justice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Nice tractor, found the following in a brochure it may help to explain SLE SLE.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMarshallModels Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks for all The Great comments on my tractor..Makes it really worth wile of building them. She rolled of the stand and only thing that broke was the back window..so she's well put together anyway....Imber faulty window..hahah (landed on her wheels..I could have cried..was my fault..tried to catch her ad ripped window clean of her) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDC Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Lucky then normally UH models snap the front stub axle off when you drop them ( I assume you have built yours straight on the Valtra chassis :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMarshallModels Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 yea..Think the wheel base is better. Looks the part..and got nicer back end that the britains..Everyone has a different take that floats there boat. ye know. when she hit i thought it was all over for her..i had to look twice..just looked like a tractor with no back window..IRISH spec..ha ha!

Johny mf Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 WHat a great model youve build! I think it is a nightmare when you see the model falling down! I had it a few times when i where painting bonnet's and that was horible to see! I look forward to see more conversions from youre hand! Kind regards Johny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMarshallModels Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks Johny. Lovely comment. And yea it is really heart breaking when you drop a model. Well here's another 8340 but this Time a NewHolland. I done some thinking and was going to make a tm out of this base but banged a 8340 bonnet on. what do you's guys think??
