JC Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Has anyone received this model yet?? It looks to me like they have fixed the sagging bonnet problem...... \ Pic Courtesy of G and M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDFord Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ah that looks better don't it F-P. Might see if G+M have got them on their stand at Dorset Steam Fair. Just a small thing,the bonnet decal doesn't look wide enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Is it steerable or is the front axle fixed as on the 5000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluegreen Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 The bonnet looks correct thankfully picked up a 5000 to have a look but it sucked! 7000 model is close to my heart as this was the real life tractor that got me interested in tractors in the first place never thought that anyone would think to make a model version though so im really looking forward to buying one and even more so now looking at that picture well done britains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James T Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 FIXED as the 5000 That'll make things a bit difficult at the headlands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I wonder if the new front weights are going to hinder us when we want to split the tractor in two ? \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Ah that looks better don't it F-P. Might see if G+M have got them on their stand at Dorset Steam Fair. Just a small thing,the bonnet decal doesn't look wide enough One of these years I'm going to make it to the Dorset Steam Fair! :'( And yes, the decal is wrong! (but everything else about it looks bang-on). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The decal is odd really there has been loads of convo decals about over the years that have been much closer than that .. shame Nevermind other than that they are improving Nice model from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yes the droopy bonnet seems to have been cured and yes the decal is wrong but still its very nice apart from the front axle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 the decals are a let down on it, but the rest looks good. think it would look good linked upto a rotovator or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I wonder if the new front weights are going to hinder us when we want to split the tractor in two ? \ Nothing is ever a problem if you really want it in two :D But yes does look ok, at least its all holding up and not sagging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 well mines here, exhaust and air cleaner are bent??? britains quallity control seems to have lapsed a little only major fault i can find is the chassis on this ones got a 1mm gap right down it's underside as if its been apart??? rears are deff bigger, front are standard 5000 axel and wheels, decals are nice and crisp to read to crap hitch but siku ones fit easy, but may well foul the lower part of the new cab rear??

Deerepower Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 bit of a bad finish with the gap and bent exhaust and air cleaner but I'm sure you'll put them right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looks a lot better than the 5000 if you ask me - thanks Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The gap spoils it. I don't like the front axle either. A No for me I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Doesn't look too bad, would look a bit better if the clown who had decaled it had trimmed the decal off beside the aircleaner cover instead of on it though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 nice looking tractor but i would send that one back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I've had an idea tm810 get Andy to take a picture of it to his next meeting and show britains and see what they say about the overall finish of the one you got...they might even give you a replacement for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
