blueford Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hello, you do a nice job. For My conversion 3650 I could send you a pic for looking to the bonnet. Blueford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Put it in line with the front of the side grill and line it up level with the exhaust. Should look good there. Water filler cap between air cleaner and exhaust, same line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Greatly improvrd, very nice model coming along here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Seriously, that look amazing, I'll send you mine over to do. How about fitting 'glass' to the cab to make her look finnished? I found that the plastic front from the siku model boxed works well but you have to be carefull how you attach it and make sure that the glue does'nt mark the plastic. Keep it up mate. You've made me and possibly others that they do need re spraying! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 Thanks again Old Ford Jez, I'm not sure I want to try glazing the cab, sometimes it looks a bit "frosted" to me, and I'm not sure how to go about it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Have you got any pictures or details of how you changed the front axle and where you got the new one from, who and how much? I'm looking to do mine over the summer. I will show you how mine turns out with glass inside. Keep it up, looking great. Also, could you post a pic of the interior please? ;D ;) :D :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 best way to glaze the cab is use normal revell or ?? model glue, to fix it, takes a bit longer to go off, and you'll prob need to clamp the bits in place with that curve, but its worth it, and that stuff wont "frost" the plasti card either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi Tm810, If you don't mind me asking, where can you get clear plastic for glazing and what thickness will do the bend on the curved windscreens \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Jez, I've been working today - I'll try and do some pics you asked for later this week Front axle UH Mtx175, modified pivot and I machined a bracket to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
