BC Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Both very nice models BC, i like the crawler one , very smart, yes the jacket does spoil it doesnt it On the whole I'm pleased with them both but by nature I tend to be a critical kinda guy ;D The jacket over the front of an old Standard Fordson would have been acceptable though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Covering the front of the Caterpillar is a bit of a cop-out, the coat was probably easier to represent rather than the intricasies of the radiator and bars on the crawler, laziness on the part of the modeller? Still a very good study though. I'm certainly very pleased with my Autumn Ploughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Border are going to bring their tractor studies a little more 'up to date' with more from the 'classic' era, the first was the D.B 1412 Silver Jubilee tractor 'Getting ready for Smithfield'. This one was more of an experiment to see how a cabbed tractor would turn out and what sales would be generated, a natural progression some might say. I have heard through the grapevine that more cabbed tractors are on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDH Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Powerrabbit I've just heard they aere bringing out a JD callled Greasing the Wheels No B1144 At a cost of £495 Bill I hope its accurate. Nice to see BFA attempting some 80's kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 waht scale are they No fixed scale, each model is different. Some have been as large as around 1/12th, some as small as around 1/20th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDH Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well I've ordered one and it is due out on 4th October 2008 I've just had my 'usual' BFA shop on the phone to advise me of the announcement. They offered 15% discount if I advance order! Strange as it was a struggle to get 10% out of them previously. Not sure if I will order one, would like to see a better photo first before deciding.

I would like to see a cabbed International in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 it would be nice to see some real modern machines there too. possible?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 it would be nice to see some real modern machines there too. possible?? Somehow I don't think that is their aim or market Jez. Maybe in another 20 or 30 years time they will do them when they consider them to be classic or vintage ones ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Now that latest one looks superb - am I right in saying that it is a 3130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IH885XLMAN Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Now that latest one looks superb - am I right in saying that it is a 3130 looks more loke a 2140 to me the way the bonnet slopes lower to the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 looks more loke a 2140 to me the way the bonnet slopes lower to the back I thought 3130 due to the rear wheels - they look like those weighted versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGEL FORD Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hmmm....,greasing the wheels eh?....disc axles,perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 I must admit the with the description "Greasing the wheels" the model wasn't what I had anticipated it to be. None the less I'm sure it will be a nice one. I cannot see from the photo what the model number of the JD is but I will e-mail the BFA society and ask.
