FordTractorCrazy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 they are definately 1:12. There is actually a story about this. Henry Ford asked ERTL to produce a model of his tractors. And when ERTL came up with their 1:!6 scale models. He found the Ford tractors to be looking to small. so especially for Ford, these tractors were made in the larger 1:12 scale so the toys would be looking more impressive.. (and the buyers of the future would remember those models that sticked out from the rest. I have the complete 1:12 Ford ERTL collection. you can find all the other information about every specific model on these pages on my website : http://www.fordcrazy001.com/collection.php (check out the Ford category 1000-series. ?600-series and TW-series for all 1:12 scaled models by ERTL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
