Outside of farm gear Smity..id like to see the Lightning when finished . Have a scale 1/72 Lightning in a box in the parents attic along with plenty more different sorts.. I done plenty of planes & choppers in my younger years . I kind of lost interest in farm models after the age of 10 & started doing model planes till i was near 20.  ::) Last 3 I done only a few years ago were a C-130, F-14 Tomcat & a UH-1 Huey ..all in scale 1/48.. .

John Charnley and sons of Brindle in Lancashire will have all the bits you need Cyril but wont be the cheapest, Agriline Products do a few  bits for Nuffields, as do Dunlop tractor spares, and AMG engineering.

Yes there is its called MID NORFOLK TRACTORS specialist in Nuffield parts Tel/fax 01603890622 I had some parts of him last year

Worked my first rostered Saturday ,first one in the 8 years we have been on this roster type, so not bad really, and only due to the end of year stats , usually they swap it , also had the architect over this eve, few beers / wines and we have finalised the internals ready for clearance on the building regs side of it, next step is contact a few people for quotes , and away we go, now begins the hunt for fancy staircases and a likes, luckily the kitchen is waiting till last, as we want to try a few things out design wise , which we can do with the old one, see if it works and gives us the space we want storage wise
