Cornish-model-farm Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 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. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPN Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Those really look the part, especially the 178. Does the Fritz cab still exist or was it broken? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it broke - not a very robust model at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
