Hillview Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Paulali, Was your suggestion just to add mirrors to the model or did you have ongoing contribution to the JCB model? Did you see pictures of the development of the model through the various stages of it's production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Rory well done with your input to th e recent Britians models. The 50 series deeres are excellent and just got a 3650 yesterday to complete the trio. The standard of the models are very high. Let's hope they continue the excellent work and bring out another trio of john deere legends ie 6610, 6810 and 6910. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAINH1973 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I was in my local toy shop this evening and looking through most of the recently released john deeres and fords and most of them had tyres which had turned or were turning grey. Does anyone know why this is and can they be cleaned up to make them black again ?. they looked pretty awful like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found in the past that some of the scale down tyres are a bit dull, mainly due to the moulding residue, and I have used a product called BACK TO BLACK, and this worked a treat.

Back to Black is good stuff for tyres alright. Ive used it a few times myself & it does work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.watson Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 doesn't back to black start to crack and flake away after time?? seem to remember tht in the past unless they have updated the formula to itback to black doesn't crack at all Sean,it's a silicone based formula, it just dries and leaves a sheen, are you sure it was back to black you used?

rorsday Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks Cowboy, although a lot of the credit must go to Britains because they really upped the game with the 50 Series and hopefully the 40 Series will follow that standard later this year. Can't wait to see the 3640. I managed to source a very clean and original example for them to visit. In theory it will have a lot more differences than the 3650 compared to the 3050/3350. I'd love them to do a late version of the JD 3350/3650 but not sure that there is enough mileage in it to justify the changes, etc. RD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 rory,what would be the difference between the 3650 and the late version,i seem to remember steps? what other differences are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH885XLMAN Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 green light clusters instead of the matt black ones mirror arrangement decal is yellow going into black rather than the other way squarer weights not a wafer as the newer 50 series also the cab black was cab green i.e doors ect no square dish wheel centres like on newer 50 series me thinks that's about it but the geen massive will put you right mate basically the 40 seies is "greener" and any black bits u see on the 50 series will be green on the 40 series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've noticed the whiter tyres as well recently on a lot of the Kane Halfpipes I've been using lately.. Its almost like a scum on rubber, Looks Really bad against the model.. Maybe its just what ever cheap rubbish Britians are using to make the tyres, or a mould release agent or something.. Either way it didn't used to be there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ford/nh fan Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I can't believe no pictures of the new releases are out yet . I thought someone went to the london toy fair have they been banned from posting pics? Or have I missed the post with them on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britainsfan78 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Britains wasn´t represented neither at the London fair nor the Nürnberg toy fair. I´m afraid there were no models to show, excepting MF and JCB. Can you remember any Britains catalogue showing just one new model but 22 prototypes/real life images? A German proverb says: "Hope is the last to die"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford/nh fan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I didn't realise there weren't represented at either show this year . I think the last time they didn't show any new tractors only covered up ones was 1996 when they released the ford/fiatagri models . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I just hope they aint going down the old road that gave them the bad reputation in the late 80s -through 90s aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford/nh fan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Have to agree there the nineties tractors were awful using the tw 35chassis for the deutz and fendt , they just looked out of scale . If they keep up with recent releases they won't go far wrong . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep up with recent releases they won't go far wrong . And probably the worst of all ,is the rear wheels they used with the centre hubs that was first introduced on the Renault 103-54 & was incorporated into most of their tractors afterwards for almost 8 years!!!!!! Those wheels became very very wobbly after a while & the centre hub just fell out. Resulting in a tractor with wheels that just kept falling off!!! Things began to turn for the worst after the introduction of the Ford 5610 really & only for the Powerfarm range ,things would have been very bad back then.

If they keep up with recent releases they won't go far wrong . Yea your right there. They where awful....but...back then you had more choice of tractor from different manufactors not like now then they are coming from the cas ih / ford newholland / Massey / jd / jcb. How about a better version of the same Rubin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Am looking forward to the 40series deeres and think that Britians are certainly on the right track regarding producing a high standard of models. The standard this past couple of years has just kept getting better. The only downside being the tyres, but hope they will get those sorted.
