New Hollander Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Picked up this Marge Ford 8730 and a Tabmodels Ford 7000 skid unit. The 8730 needs some work. Not sure what happend with it. Curiously it has the door handles and mirrors of the bubble cab TW's. Going to swap the doors with my TW-15 and maybe some wider and higher rear tyres.

Previously had McC MTX tyres under it but these are a better match. Wanted a little wider ones under the 8730 but may consider these. Thanks for the advice, Ben. Looks like there's a colour difference between the TW-15 (7610) and 8730 cab, so no door swap unfortunately... I believe the colour of the Marge TW-25/35 is a bit lighter. The 8730 is missing the 3pl, was thinking of putting a Replicagri NH TM 3pl on it. Now I'm thinking this is a pre-production prototype.

phil phoenix Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yeah, well I was peeved they still hadn't raised the cab up over the fenders like on the real thing. I guess the tooling budget didn't stretch that far. So once again I will do it myself and narrow the wheel tracking and change the tyres. To be honest its 90% a cracking model that I will have to finish the other 10% on. The Fendt 728 is a brilliant model, the only flaw is the black radiator grill which should be grey but thats easily sorted. And I will be spraying the wheels fendt red too.

trigger82 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Few more bits I bought today at Limerick show 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 So I finally managed 5 minutes to sit down & photgraph my two new purchases🙂 The Fendt 728 was bought from my Fendt dealer who ordered it in from a french Fendt Warehouse, leftover model from Agritechnica. Edition One. £83.00. The John Deere 6R.250 came from NorthWest Diecast directly and not via ebay. Saved £16 doing this, and to be fair my last 4 or 5 orders to them have been turned around very quickly with no delivery issues. That hadn't always been my experience with them in the past, so credit where its due. Fendt is excellent apart from black radiator grill, should be grey. What I find odd is that Wiking just released new edition Fendt 0ne 942 & 1050's both with new grey grills!! No problem as I will paint it and probably Edition two version 728s coming in the spring will have grey grills. And I already have the wheels off and sprayed red in the garage. But the red plastic should please most buyers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
