alf aphid Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Not a scratch build, but slight modification on the old ertl/ Britain’s been sitting part done for yonks. horrible double ended hitch removed, my only slight faux pas is that it is now a little high (I could get a job at UH ) net box on rear removed, pto tin cover added along with door rear cross member, reflectors and replacement wheels, yellow plastic bits painted, holes filled where the big plastic axle holders were, older type 550 decals added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alf aphid Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Next up an earlier 550 with twine only. A fair bit of butchery required..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John, well I really need to get back on the combine, ultimately yes I want to make a 3760 as per the one on the farm next door as a kid. It’s just on the table as the wife had asked what it was doing sitting on one of the beams gathering dust! If my little boy spots it, it will be liberated!!

alf aphid Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 So other than a few finishing touches (aka bits that will never be done) she’s done. Quite pleased I’ve managed to (relatively speaking) motor on and get done. Like I said not 100% accurate but you get the idea, and a bit cheaper than a mini Agri passion one!
