Where do you get your decals from? i find Henri Walker usually does excellent recreations. It's funny how critical you become when it's your own, if you'd bought it, you'd have said "what a lovely model" popped it on the shelf and been very pleased! Great convos really smart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was from Henri and I agree that he does an excellent job, I was expecting an email with the image to check over, which he did with the other decal he did for me. To his credit he was very quick, only a couple or 3 days and it turned up in the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 very nice martin, curious ,what are the rear rims off on the 8630 ?? i don't reconise them ?? unless its the colour throwing me . pretty sure if you drop henri a message with the size you need, plus how long you want the 8630 bit to be he will knock them up for you, i did the same on my 3125, ordered a set for lenght and the numbers looked out, he amended them and sent a new set within a day or two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were a cheaper option to the PAVT's on the 8630s and I think I've seen a pic of one of the last 15's when new with them fitted. I'm sure he will do another, will be ordering some more shortly so might as well wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
