chris.watson Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Very nice Mike. Are they not having any decals though? Or are they prototypes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 You gettng the gold one then mike ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 The orange one is nice. What is it other than a Same, looks bigger than any I have ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 It is a Same Hercules 160 and only the prototype at the moment, it will have decals when it is finished. The gold model was a real tractor which was done for the Eima show of 1979 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not so bad when there was a real one mike, I imagined they were playing the UH game of every colour possible. I like how you can see the engine through the side panels. Not wanting to sound like im nit picking but I wonder if the finished model wil have the lights painted gold.

robbo Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 The Hercules was made in Italy as with all of their tractors, I believe no more than 1 or 2 made it to the UK and I am not sure that they are still in use. There is a model of the Same MiniTaurus 60 in existence, both as a 2WD and also a 4WD version made by Agringegno and also available through FM Modelbau and also T Toys Nazareth http://www.fm-modellbau.ch/shop/traktoren-und-landmaschinen/same/same-minitaurus-60-allrad-detail 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a lovely little model though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Yet another one from the FM Modelbau Same stable, I am being well and truly spoilt this year. They are also going the Fiat 540 and Agrifull 70, I would suggest that are getting the most from one casting if possible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf aphid Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Seriously tempted with a couple of these, did you deal with fm modelbau? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Yes you can order directly from them and delivery was quite quick. The only issue was paying by bank transfer but I now have that set up on my phone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf aphid Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I’ve tried to buy a couple of Same from this outfit but they don’t respond! Has anyone else had issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have had no issues whatsoever and I have bought a number of the Same and Hurlimann models from them, all came promptly and well packed. However, if you are struggling you could go through www.Trattormania.it as they are their agent in Europe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 The latest Lamborghini 1556 models will be available from 15th December, as might be expected, I have got mine ordered already. Price is 162 Swiss Francs, which is about 149 euros https://www.fm-modellbau.ch/ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted August 1, 2021 Author Share Posted August 1, 2021 Apparently FM Modelbau are going to do the Same Hercules in 1/18 scale, I am going to need a bigger cabinet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 1/18th, I wonder why not 1/16th, At that scale you will need a shed Mike not a cabinet, Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
