What's Your Latest Farm/Construction Buy 2013


Recommended Posts

No Hugh it was 4am once all the models were bought we couldn't pass the bar my uncle and I ran into some very good friends so we stayed at the hotel bar to all most 12 and then headed into Portstewart  to the Anchor bar. One of the best nights out Ive had in a long time and I really needed it after the few months ive had.

Awesome model Joe! A little bit too modern for my own collecting habits nowadays, but it's definitely one of the best big modern articulated tractors out there in 1/32nd scale at the moment. :)

It is a very nice model David,very big as well,but funnily enough,it's a bit lighter in weight than the tracked 875,??as promised more photo's,

The towing pin is a bit on the big side though,

And this was the big stumbleing block when it came to converting an 875 into a 975,the 875 door was a "suicide" door,(front opening)

And the 975 was conventional ( rear opening)

But I now have the perfect tool for hauling my huge 12 meter Agrisem Disc o Mulch,

 

 

Regards

thats a serious looking implement, Joe - is it a standard model or a conversion?

 

;D ;D From one Joe to another, ;) It's a conversion,made by a French bloke,only available from Zwolle,Brian, (mr softie) very kindly brought that back for me last year,

 

 

Are you making Kinross and Minathort into a bit like a 1/32 Knockothie Farms, Ellon Joe ;D  ;D

 

if there was one of them in my area Bill,it would probably be called Milna-Ross and it would be just one BIG farm, ;D ;D

Regards

Joe.

Britains 1974 High-Sided Tipper (9566) in early colour scheme and lwb Land Rover tyres, but later decal and silver rather than orange handle. I've pictured it next to my previous one (no decal and replacement tail gate) which will now go on Ebay.
