I'm just finishing off a little weeks trailer that's been sat for months and months, but I've been steadily working away at building and casting parts for some more Internationals and Case's, so hopefully they will start to appear shortly, probably a few more 74 series to start with but I'm also working on a 4230 and an 885 as well Would the 4230 be the low profile one ? used to use on with a quickie loader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Great additions john. Were the 66's off eBay? There was a post on Facebook a few days ago with 6 pot 40 series and TS bonnets that looked accurate. Will have a look for it later on if you are interested?

That is dangerous, I've stopped looking on eBay unless there is something in particular I'm after, however even that isn't foolproof.... No problem I'll have a look.

Dusty Dan Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Those are all awesomely detailed models! The part about sneaking a model into the house without the wife noticing sounds very familiar.

I was 2 fields away cutting grass when i saw the delivery van coming down our road, and knowing that if there was no one in it would have been redelivered the next day ( when the wife would be in) I did my best Usain Bolt impression and sprinted back to the yard to catch the courier. I think the sight of me red faced and panting trying to get back before he left rather amused the driver, he didn't say much but he drove off with a big grin on his face.....goodness knows what he thought was in the box! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
