robbo Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 There is a loose leaf advert in this month's Model Farmer magazine for a publication by Atlas Editions for "The Ultimate Tractors of the World" publication. It would appear to be a bit like the previous type mags but the models that come with this one are 1/32 rather than 1/43. http://www.atlaseditions.co.uk/collection/TRC/Ferguson-TE20-Tractor-model.html?promocode=11Csd As usual it starts with the grey Fergie and then goes on with a Ford 5000 followed by the DB Selectamatic 880 and I was wonfdering if anyone knows who makes the models for them? Is it UH/Hatchette or are they from somewhere else? Does anyone know if it would be worth subscribing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I could be wrong Mike, but that ford 5000 looks very very similar to the one David got at zwolle ?? Wasn't that by atlas ?? The David Browns a euro spec with seat from on the arches and front mudguards on a 2wd so I suspect it's a euro maker for the models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ford 5000 looks to be a 6Y version & not the 6X UH model type model. I would love to see the full iist of tractors that will be available with this mag..

0025 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ATLAS EDITIONS! there a scam, and my parent nearly had to take them to court a few years ago, do not trust them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Was going to mention the same, don't expect to be able to pay £1.99 for the first tractor and then stop, you will end up paying the full £14.99 for each model, the way they work is offering one model at a cheap price then offering another at a slightly dearer price, if you don't buy the second then they want you to pay full price for the first model and will employ debt collection companys to recover £5 etc. It's basically an endless loop. If you plan on subscribing to the full magazine however I doubt you'll have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Nothing wrong with an Atlas subscription if you want to buy the whole series. All their ranges sell well. Prices are ok and the quality of those I've seen is good. The number of models in a collection is not huge unlike the World of Tractors range. If you are looking for specific models then eBay. Lots are bought and go straight on there, but be prepared to pay premium prices for some models. Will not be available in your local newsagent.

Usually once the series is established then send the subscribers a list of all the intended releases. So hopefully if some one subscribers they will sahre the list.

Its a model collection with added features. I've not heard of Atlas buying in excess stock from other offers. They seem to commission specific manufacturers to produce specially for them. I've a lot of details about the various bus and Stobart collections they have produced though have not subscribed to these. However they have just announced a British Touring Car Championship collection which I will go for. So we'll see what they are like. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 I think I might sign up for this tractor series, they look OK and they are 1/32 scale. If I find out how many they are doing or a list I will post them on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P As Mike said I thought it said a magazine and model on the flyer Peter, although I could be wrong, would only be interested in a few of them, say a 65 and 165/75 if they got done, and a few odd ones . Even if I had to modify them to uk spec. Certainly wouldn't want all of them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot never are available in the UK. eBay is your friend if you want the odd one or two but a whole collection from Europe is probably quite expensive. 1 hour ago, Tractorman810 said: As Mike said I thought it said a magazine and model on the flyer Peter, although I could be wrong, would only be interested in a few of them, say a 65 and 165/75 if they got done, and a few odd ones .

The add on extra's could be a magazine with one model, a print with another, set of beermats with another. You just never know what they'll offer with each model. Just have a look at eBay for those that you want. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
