phil phoenix Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I managed to track this 828 down from Pete (convo) recently and it is a very nice model. But needed a couple of finishing touches. So I sprayed the wheels Fendt red, painted the wheel nuts, gave it a 2017 reg as Fendt changed the green colour in this year and the last of the old colour were sold out. I also made up a pair of rear wheel hubs to cover the screw heads. It looks really nice now, very pleased with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Very nice. They have suddenly got impossible to find now they've been discontinued although I prefer the earlier version which I have got one of. Think the wheels on mine do need a lick of paint though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 The tyres on your model are brilliant Joe, I dont know why I sold mine. I prefer the wheels on the 2014 model and I prefer the higher placed decals on the bonnet as well. Only dissapointment is its not the current nature green colour which is much nicer imo. Other than that the 828 is my favourite Fendt model in 1/32 and 1/1😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Except maybe when they have absurdly small wheels? 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 They must have come off an 718 or the like Joe😄 This is more like it🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 Or this one, and an older 826 looking cool some 12 years ago when it was the first on my patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look much better with hardly any gap between the top of the tyre and the wheel arch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
