CMB Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Again a big improvement on the base model. Not overly fond of Britains efforts to cover the Case family in the late 90s/2000s, but the reused cab (I think they had it on a New Holland TS135 or something) seems to fit this MXU . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not overly fond of Britains efforts to cover the Case family in the late 90s/2000s, but the reused cab (I think they had it on a New Holland TS135 or something) seems to fit this MXU . your right there chris,it was a very basic model,but i thought the worse one britains done from case ih was the maxxum 125,just a redecaled mxu,with the wide black mudguard extensions sprayed red,i did a convo of that one as well,the cab is the same, as you rightly said chris on the new holland tsa 135,which went on to be redecaled as the t6070,and now redcaled with there front loaders, new holland t 6020,and the case ih 110 maxxum,so britains got there moneys worth out of that cast Edited August 28, 2012 by paulali 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 interior painting done,and made the floor dirty,also weathered the tractor,just waiting on the bonnet decals and number plate,enjoy the pictures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 just a little more of an update,i painted the huge black mudguard extensions flat black,they were way to shiny,also slighty eased the weathering,made a fuel tank spill with my wifes clear nail lacquer,and i used a tamiya mudstick and some cement dust on the tyres all to take off the new look,and made the cab floor dirty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
