Paul Palmer Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Benny on here has been very helpful as well as he has coverted this model,seen the tow hitch he used which he got from farmmodels nl,only costs 2 euros,but 13 euros postage!!! so I have emailed them and see why its so expensive for something so small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne D Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Good to see you back Paul, I've always enjoyed your model conversions. Was the yellow top part of the cab hard to remove? I take it it just pops off without any screws or revits holding it in place? I made a start on adding some detail to mine, but the hydraulic pipe I used is a bit to thick and just looks wrong.

Paul Palmer Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hi Wayne,nice to hear from you,yes the yellow part of the cab just pulls off,its held in with 2 lugs that fit in to 2 slots of the metal part of the roof,i popped my driver in tonight,i will put up some pics tomorrow,i think the pipe looks right Wayne I have ordered some from Dave Towse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
