Paul Palmer Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 bit of spraying done today,a little tip i picked up is just to run a hairdryer over the bits you are spraying for 10/20 seconds im sure it helps the paint adhere,front of bonnet sprayed where the raised ford emblem was,chassis,wheels,wheel hubs and roof done,these wont be touched until tomorrow now 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 could anybody tell me please if the britains ford 6600 old style cab has the same size wheels as the uh ford 5000,the models,not the real deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 The rear wheels are slightly different Paul, thinner on the UH than the Britains, i think the fronts are similar but can't be certain until I've checked down my shed tomorrow (i would have had a look now but it's pi**ing down here!)

justy 46 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Is it this type 6600 you are inquiring about Paul against the UH 5000 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hope this makes sense Paul! Personally I think the UH wheels would be a good alternative as they are a more detailed rim, but we're probably opening another can of worms here....

Paul Palmer Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 just ordered some 1mm brass rod for the cab grab rails on the 7740 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) after letting the paint dry properly i but the tractor back together,have to put the fuel tank back on the left hand side,still have to do the cab lights and cab grab rails,but im waiting for the brass rod to turn up for that,also waiting for the decals from Henri Walker and number plate and roof aerial,anyway here are some pictures,Imber/ros got the ford blue spot on as the ford rattle can matches it perfectly Edited October 4, 2020 by Paul Palmer 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) the rear mudguards could be a bone of contention,but there was a transition period for the mudguards,when they were changed when the 40 series fords changed to new holland decals,at the same time as the lower steps were removed,but still looking on google i have seen the blue roof new hollands with 3 steps,but speaking to a local new holland dealer there were some very early blue roof new hollands with the older mudguards fitted Edited October 4, 2020 by Paul Palmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshire Farm Models Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I really really like it Paul. I have a few of these lying around all with plans of making them into 6 cylinders but I'll definitely be keeping one aside to turn into a 7740 as this looks the part. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
