N. van Eekelen Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's been a while since I've posted anything on the board here. A month ago I saw some images of a New Holland **05 chopper, which seemed a kit from Manu S from France. Really a nice kit to build, and plenty of options to detail it at your own wishes. In my case: I've added a moving cabin door, made some new hand rails instead of the standard. The glass in the cab is made from Vivak by Bayer; a transparant kind of polystyrene. I've also made the rear axle steerable with a moving steering cylinder, extra details such as working lights, so I guess the picture is pretty complete. Perhaps a beacon. About the header; I've ordered a 6 row maize header with it, which is still on my workbench to make it foldable for transport.. I will keep you updated about that.

Tractorman810 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 very nice neils, may have to enquire if any will be avaiable at zwolle this year, can remember seeing a few of them round this way when i was younger and just started work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Very nice indeed, I have one I'm half way through building and as you say it is a nice kit to put together and has scope to add your own touches. I have replaced the resin wheels and tyres with some rubber ones along with a few other minor alterations. If mine turns out half as good as this I will be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced the originals with Krone big M's in the front and Artisans in the back; looks way better, and above all; now you can paint the rims seperatly finally, ha ha.
