powerrabbit Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Don't know if you can see it that well but the windscreen wiper turned up and is now fitted. Also put the engine oil filter on, that's the little blob of white you can see in front the cab front bottom window. Don't think there is much more I can do to it now.

powerrabbit Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Just another little finishing touch for those of you that have commented on the ability to make the tax disc and other printing bits so small without blurring, I said that I would think about a numberplate so I've done one for the tractor creating it in one of my 'drawing' computer programmes. As for adding a driver, well, we'll see. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. I've missed out the roof decal, Damn, knew there was something, I will cure that later on. The steps on the real one were Power Red, they were black when they dropped the Power Red in 1984 when they changed to the black and white 'magpie' livery and the David Brown name was dropped.

David Brown 1410 power! Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Hello PR. The 1690 you coppied for your model must of had power red steps because any 90s tractors we have broke for spares as well as the ones we work all have black steps sins the DB range secura cabs were fitted they had black steps altough the very first 90s tractors may of had red steps. You could perhaps have a crack at making a model of this ultra rare David Brown 1410 Highway its as far as i no a once of and is fitted with front brakes the chassis were repainted black buy a previous owner but she was originaly all yellow with power red wheels and a few black parts such as the fuel tank and roof and mirrors.

powerrabbit Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 The early 90 series when launched in 1980 at Monaco were all with red steps, these steps were not that strong and were always getting damaged and being rather light rusted out after a time and by the time they did red painted ones were no longer available as they were replaced with stronger ones that were black. Anyway, the cab roof decal has now been done. Ihope that this now completes the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS135A DRIVER Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 That's a fantastic job powerrabbit you have done from start to finish on this model the attention to detail takes conversions to a new level. Well done there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 That's a fantastic job powerrabbit you have done from start to finish on this model the attention to detail takes conversions to a new level. Well done there. Thanks for the compliment. I'm on the hunt for more of the Lone Star ones, bits, parts, whatever, to convert as they seem fairly straight forward to do. All the ones they made were the same base so a variety of 90/94 series models could be created, 1390/94, 1490/94, 1590/94 and the 1690/94 and in varying liveries from the D.B red and white, Case black and white with red wheels and the Case IH variants in the IH colours with the silver wheel rims.
