looks much better on those chunky tyres Paul,new weight is close but looks like it should go back to me as you have two weight hangers there effectively

your right Jamie,but i have nothing to play with,cant cut the weights and nothing to cut on the front of the tractor,unless you have an idea

could be done if the bonnet and lights were removed,then dremel cut off the the required thickness off the chassis,fair bit of work but would be spot on then.

nearly done,beacon added,just have to paint the front wheel inserts,and perhaps a bit more weathering,but proberbly not,however i do think i need to rust the exhaust up a bit,the front weight looks better and all seems to be level,im happy with her now,oh i forgot,rear wheel weights to be added,but they are on their way

Looking great Paul, it is a shame uh put those front centres on the model when they could have used the correct ones from the case/McCormick's

thankyou Martin,it is a shame,but i suppose its uh getting maximum from there models covering all their tw,s,i would have to do all this again for their tw gen II,the mudguards/ floorpan is wrong on that one,and the front wheels as well

Good work mate, looks very realistic now with the added weathering and rusted exhaust! 

Did you fit the Britains rims and tyres onto the UH front axel? Or fit  the full Britains front axel, rims and all to the UH in the end?
