I bought myself one of the new revised 2022 Fendt 942,s

Very nice touches in the cab with Fendt One computers.

Biggest improvement is the grey radiator hood which replaced the black one on earlier models, makes a big difference in quality of appearance.

Still has numb rear tyres and too large front wheel rims. 33mm = 41 inch & not 38inch as on the real thing.  I plan to change front rims and all 4 tyres.

Just had a quick look look Joe there were 18 1/32 massey models, now only 5, 2 of them are 1/76,if i remember rightly there was a red 7726S,britains 7200 combine and various uh massey tractors

After your link I managed to nab the red 7726S! Would have loved the black one as drive a black 7720S quite often!

⁹My recent purchases 

From borderway show off the valley axe man

A fordson new major on steel wheels 

This is going straight into the collection as the one I had was very playworn and this is a lot tidier although the lights aren't original they weren't on the one I had so can't swap them either

for the autoway collection 

land rover and safety trailer with blue insert and red wheels on the trailer 

now I've been looking for one of these for a few years, they just don't seem to be about with the blue insert, I eventually won one on ebay about 6 years ago but never received it (got lost in the post) got my money back but would have preferred the model. Now got talking to a fellow collector at the borderway show who had picked one up a few days before.  So he showed me pictures of it and that was that.  Couple of days later he offered it me so I had to have it as I haven't seen one for years.  The box was a bit ripped and tatty so I've repaired it and I'm very pleased to have it in my collection

 Britains new holland T6070

 Now this is another I've been looking for now for a number of years in this later box with age number on the front instead on symbol. Underneath the box is slightly different too and is dated 2011 whereas the other is 2009

britains ford 6600 with blue insert 

now this is something I've done after seeing one similar go for strong money on ebay. Now it's a 595 box insert but the one on ebay had a ford ovel sticker over the massey logo I've cut the ford one out of an old box and cut the massey one out and glued the ford one in. I just thought it suited the blue insert quite well

What a childish set of comments. Yes you might have got it cheap, but to then say you're putting it on eBay just to make money shows you're in it for greed. To then boast about it on a public forum? how pathetic. Things like this that spoil it for everyone else and takes the fun of collecting out of it.

And not that its any of your business but why would i sell it for what i bought it for? Now wish i never said where i got it from and then nobody would have benefitted on here

Have to say mate, I don’t think Paul’s done anything wrong here, I’m sure we all have models in our collection that we’ve bought cheap over the years that are worth a lot more now but we wouldn’t sell them for what we paid for them. I don’t see that as greed, just human nature 🤷🏻‍♂️😉
