No worries mate. Honestly you sound like me, we’ve got an old Whitlock link box, and a David brown 3 ton tipper ! Might need a hedge cutter to get to it ha ha!. We have some water tanks on Howard spreader chassis. As you say goes on and on and on, I will make a few models for shows as that’s the only time I ever get to decide what I make unfortunately. I can’t wait to see this ih when it’s done, hopefully you can bring it to Penrith mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Forgot the McConnel back actor on my list, been thinking about having a go at that for a while now, the 475 spends a fair bit of her time on the front of that, would make an interesting build as well....

844john Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 A little bit more done, made and fitted the door handles, wiper, side windows and rubber seal between the cab and the bonnet. Back window and front grill still to do, and I'm still pondering the best way to do the grill at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshire Farm Models Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I know the feeling mate. My Sanderson took a while, you will be pleased you put all the time in when it’s done ! Yanno models like that fetch some serious money these days... you probably wouldn’t want to sell it but it’s probs worth a small fortune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
