ertlerik Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hello all, This was a first for me, alway's wanted a Case 4690 in 1/16 since that was the first ever big 4wd tractor i operated. I started with a Ertl Case 4994 and a Bruder Claas xerion, stripped all the goodies of the xerion till i was left with the frame, since i only needed the crabsteer. Than i took the 4994 apart, all i needed from this model was the hood and cab. I had to shorten the hood and scratch build a new cabtop. Think the pictures explain them self. first mockup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not any time soon, to cold in the garage might start a little some thing in spring again, but not as big as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
