bluegreen Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Ive been quietly working on this for a few weeks and finally got the wheels this week from Paul Ogier and they are superb. I had to move the exhaust, fill in and paint the hole left, make up a new exhaust and air filter from scratch. I painted some of the cab insides grey including the console, I replaced the steering wheel after destroying the original one removing the console! Then painted the seat brown. Henry Walker supplied the decals. The cab doors got painted black plus a little modification and made the best of the front lights from what was available. I made up a pair of extra wafer weights out of 1 mm plastistruct and glued them on. Ive got rear tyres lined up but not fronts just yet and the new wheels will need painting outdoors, but not in a freezing force 9 gale with yet more rain...………... so I may have to be patient for a while longer yet.

bluegreen Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 A bit more painting on the cab, 2725 decals fitted to bonnet, weights painted on the front and all pieced back together. Will look to get the wheels bored out this week and then wait for an opportunity to prime and paint them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Finally got the wheels painted over the weekend with the original silver mist spray, must say they really do look good. Ive managed to source a set of donor tyres which hopefully will be here this week, then I can finish her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yes they are superb aren't they, just wish I had a pucker 3650/55 to put them on. But then again I was fortunate enough to have spent a few hours ploughing with a 2725 back in the late 80s so its nice to have a model of one.
