dr-abich Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 It could be difficult to find 16.9 X 28" IN 1/32 SCALE. I know was available to buy 7211 on 34" on back but ive seen only one like that in Poland 7211with 34" on back and 16" on front. 7711 got 20". on front.

bahiafen Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 i'm liking this thread, glad to see something a bit different we had a ford and Zetor at home the first new tractor was an S plate 6718 and was the height of luxury!! compared to the old 4000 (heater and walk through cab!) i rode many a mile sat on the wide internal mudguards over the years the 6718 was replaced with a newer model ?? which was replaced with one similar to this which made way finally for the first and only 4WD Zetor in the early 90's, just sorry i can't remember the numbers the 4000, made way for a new 4600, then a 5610 and finally a series II 6610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Dan Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Perhaps I am missing something here where I live. I have built model cars, ships and airplanes since around 1957 and I have never seen or heard of model tractor kits. Maybe they sell them but it could be that I have not looked in the right places. I have visited many hobby shops through the years. And to tell the truth, I have never looked on line. All the tractors that I have ever seen are either already assembled plastic or diecast in different scales. The latter being the most available. There is a tractor and auto and truck tire dealer a few miles from me who sells just about every make of diecast model tractors on the market, SpecCast, Ertl etc. His store has shelf after shelf of model diecast tractors, John Deere, Ford, Oliver, Allis Chalmers, Farmall etc. I have purchased a few from him as he specializes in Olver tractors, (the real ones) and he competes with them at tractor pulls at local tractor shows and county fairs. Of course, the local John Deere dealership sells the diecast models also. I am impressed, to say the least, with what I have seen here with the various models and how nice they turn out when completed. As far as putting model kits together, I do very few if any now. I just don’t have the patience or steadiness to build them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
844john Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I think it's pretty similar over here Dan, tractor model kits are also very few and far between, hence why many of us choose to build our own models from scratch, also it allows you to make what you want rather than what's available to buy.

justy 46 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Heller do a small few tractor kits. They are probably the only mainstream model kit brand doing them ..mostly vintage MFs.. also Nigel Ford's ScaleDown kits are probably the best out there. Autodrome are another good kit. You can get them ..but they are rare . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dominik, I couldn't find any wheels suitable, so in the end i used some that i had cast, cut the centres out and made up some new rims to match the Zetor ones. 2 hours ago, Valley Axe Man said: Another beauty in the making John looking good Thank you Paul, its nice to do something a bit different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if uh will make this one, given their Zetor flurry? Cheers Alastair, I would think that the basic moulds could be tweaked to do numerous models and ages of zetor, and uh certainly seem to like to get their moneys worth out of their moulds! These models were always popular on stock farms, especially in the hills, but i would imagine much less so with the arable lads, so maybe the potential market in this country would be quite small..then again I'm sure plenty were sold back in their native country!
