phil phoenix Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) As we may have too wait along time for any new Valtra T models to be made, I decided to try and make a Generation 2 version of the T4 machines which got released in 2019 and have just been replaced with new T5 series tractors. I recently bought a cheap Burago Valtra N series and noticed it had the latest exhaust and pre cleaner post fitted to it, so I removed them, sprayed them matt black to hide their cheap shiny look and then transplanted them onto a Wiking Valtra T. I then made a whole host of detail upgrades on the model including: New wheels (sprayed gloss black) , new tyres based on the popular R42/ 650/65, new beacons on stalks, extra detailing around cab windows including door hinges using 1mm plasticard painted black, drivers side windscreen wiper. Cab lights dabbed with metallic silver paint, plus added a driver. 2020 (70 reg) plate, dealer sticker, security sticker. Painted cab steps. Painted rear wheel centres and hub. All in all Im very pleased how she has turned out, perhaps Toys Farms could make some in more popular colours, as round here they are either metallic black or grey or green. Personally I really like white Valtras, especially with the black rims. Seeing as its impossible for the manufacturer to put the models number ID on the nose of these tractors Ive decided mine is a T234😎 Edited August 7, 2021 by phil phoenix 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Very nice work Phil, I'm surprised there hasnt been an updated T5 announced as yet. Your lovely green T163 isnt minus its wheels now though is it? 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Nope, she will remain intact, the more I look at that excellent facelift series 3 model the harder I find it to believe that Valtra gave the gen4 Ts to Wiking! I mean I have done a lot of detail work on my white T to arrive at a similar standard to what UH achieved on the 163T. Hopefully the superb UH G series Valtras will get them the contract for the Ts Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 One final upgrade I have been looking to do to the Valtra was too replace the lame Valtra decals on the bonnet. So when a cheap orange old orange T series came up I bought it and pinched its much nicer decals and swapped them onto the T234😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
