Wow John... You've done yet another grand build there.... what could be the first publically aired build of a JWD fieldmaster 👍 for those on here who don't know, the JWD is the last legacy as it were to the Nuffield, built in very limited numbers by John Charnley and his sons William and David... they improved some of the niggling issues that the preceding Leylands and Marshall had...some will call it an improved engine by them going Perkins but I being a longstanding alligience to the 4/98 would have liked it to have seen the last incarnation of the Leyland engine used, available in 70 80 and 90 hp 4 pot configuration in 2 and 4wd they never sold that many... maybe just into double figures depending on who you ask.... I know if 3 all still in active use..... Think I need to set you a bigger challenge pardon the pun but if the 32nds look that good then the 16ths are going to be jaw dropping...... well done John hats off to you 👍

Wish i had those talents and patience  they are all stunning john

I seem to remember in a early classic tractor mag there was a blue leyland secura cabbed tractor too mate 

That was for the Finnish market, they preferred the sekura cab due to it having a roof hatch as a means of escape... Which was something in Finnish legislation of Tractor cabs...  There are a version of the qm Leyland cab with a roof hatch on some of the parts books but to be honest I never seen one Nigel

I think it must ha ve been the cab for the finnish  market at the time they also did ih 674s 454s with the older version of sekura square ap luxury cabs 

David browns too 

Dunno about massey ferguson 100 series or 500 series having those sekura cabs on though

Stunning collection of builds there John 😍 in my opinion that's better than any line up of Fergy or Ford ( best put my tin hat on now and get ready for the battle 😉)

Thanks Paul, I thought they’d appeal to you 😉

Yet another stunning set of builds John... I guess though if we all followed same brand then it would make the world a boring place... One thing for sure though is you certainly know how to build a cracking model.... And you also know how to point and squirt with a camera 😉
