Tractorman810 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 as far as my 2 go spot on, finish lacks in a few minor areas paint wise,pto shaft and one has a ripple on cab top , i can find one single fault with these models, and that is the headers are not removable, even the poorer britains ones have that, but to me thats a minor prob , but others could find this a headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Well I've rated my model a 4/5... only let down to me is the fragility of the thing... very difficult to get out of the packaging... too many wires wrapped around delicate parts such as the rear steering axle... However.. I have never seen detail on a model such as this anywhere else.. If this rates a 4 (as it's not perfection) then the Britains 7200 would get a 2 and the Siku 7278 would get a 3 I guess.... Like Sean says... the build quality has been a little "iffy" in some areas... but lets remember the level of detail supplied here and make some allowance for the fact they are all hand finished. Removable header would add to it's "playability" I guess... but lets not forget this is a collectors model that hasn't been built for carpet farming really In my humble opinion.. this is one of the best models I now have in my collection of some 120+ Massey Ferguson Models - thank you UH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Detail wise it is the best model to have ever been thrown on the bonfire :D I don't know if any of you remember the trouble my fat thumbs had getting it out of the packaging when they first arrived, you know how it is I was so excited . Have had a few problem ones as bignose because of the fragile nature, the rear axle is a big problem in my view although easy to put right but some of my customers failed to see this was an easy fix But overall I would award it 9/10, would have been 9.5 but for the colour and the badge ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Only you could rate is 9 or 9.5 out of 10 when the scale goes from 0 to 5 :D :D :D :D and who are you calling big nose.... bubble butt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 A scale upto 5 does not give enough detail as this model deserves Bignose :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I give it 4.753621 out of 5 due to the bits that seem to drop off them before they arrive where they are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 4/5, removable header and trailer would have made it 5/5 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 having not got this model yet does the header detach like the real thing and if so could you put a britains/siku header on it ,not that a solid header puts me off as it looks a fine model also a question on the the lavarder badged combine did they make them in real life like the MFs or is it a way of cashing in on the tooling even though i would buy the lavarder before the MF combine :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatepoundland Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Well at ?50 it would get a rounded up 4**** because of the quality issues but I bought it at less so would give it 5*****, if a model is commonly availible for under the RRP, should we not use that very confusing with UH because the RRP is rarely followed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
