An Interested Spectator Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I had not built an Airfix kit or anything similar since i was a kid (40 odd years ago). This was marked as an "easy kit" and was 1/32 scale so it seemed a good place to start. Very easy to put together and once glued a lot more robust than its plastic suggests, but still not one i would let my three year old play with. Add one ot two bits, driver, lights etc. so i guess it gust scrapes in under the bar as a conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallclaas Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 That's it Paul nice. I was thinking of changing the tyres on mine but thought it would be hard to replace the rims, but I see you slapped a pair of Sikus on them, very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 did the flashing light bar come in the kit or have you added it?, i want to know were i can get some for putting on my larger tractors and trucks. any ideas please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Interested Spectator Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 To Sparrow Legs, The light bar came of a toy van. I think it was a Corgi or similar. It was a repair truck or something and had a light bar front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDC Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 hopefully civilpek might know as he is a munster man as far as i know As far as I know the first test machine was standard Liebherr colours but now all new ag spec machines are supplied in green with yellow wheels and fork :o I think it's so it looks completly different to the Farmmaster : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Interested Spectator Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 They do come in green. Check out the front cover of farmers weekly from, i think, two weeks ago. I beleive its just their farm spec loaders that come in green, and construction kit in yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I bet John Deere take them to court over their colour scheme no. Samson first, Yankee footbal team second, Liebherr soon to be the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
