Massey Ferguson 178 and 590 Turbo conversions

[Cornish-model-farm]

I posted these pictures on Instagram a while ago, so apologies if some of you have seen them before. The MF 178 is a Mo Miniatur 1/32 model, made in Germany. Not a great model TBH, but the only one I could find of a 178. It had a Fritzmeier cab originally, which I replaced with a Duncan. I also added a Boughton winch from Tab Models and went to town on the weathering! The 590 is a Universal Hobbies 1/32 model which I bought as spares or repair as quite a few of the delicate bits had broken-off. I replaced the missing exhaust pipe with a straight one from a 1980s Britains Fendt Turbomatik and added Opico Turbo stickers from Dave "Titch" Sanders at Machinery Decals in Staffordshire. Again, I did my usual heavy weathering job on it.

Those really look the part, especially the 178.

Does the Fritz cab still exist or was it broken?

Sadly it broke - not a very robust model at all.
