I reckon the ROS Explorer/R3 Evo/XB Max/Agrofarm 100 would be a very good starting point?

Cabs, wheels and chassis look very similiar.

thanks guys i have that white i got it at my local agco dealer i like it its a good model.those Ros tractor would be a good starting point.I was in ebay last night and i found this person selling UH Tyres and  i got an idea could i use the UH chassis of the Lamborghini R6 100/Same Iron 100/Hurlimann XM100 model?the wheel size would be a good size for the them.i would put fenders on them even though those pictures have them without.

the only way i could see a bonnet like that is from plastic, they look pretty simple shapes to make, why not try it ,johnnymf seems to get all of his ok from that method, i have done a few ,juts take your time its cheap enough to buy, wouldnt want much more than 1mm thick, so you can from the bends ect

im not a experienced model maker and i have no plasctruct i would have to get it shipped to canada.so if i got this bonnet made would i fit it to a UH R6 Chassis or a ROS R3 EVO chassis?what about the cab?thanks for the suggestions TractorMan810 all good ideas

[Tractorman810]

what ever ones cheaper really mate, no point spending a fortune on a model to pull it apart , either would need work on the cab top to looking at the pics in the links but the basic cab frame looks ok

you could try using the britains hurlimann prestige h468 as a start point

You'd have to be a brave man or a rich man to do that there becoming quite rare  :o

indeed they are mate unless you can find a scrapper, but even they comand a good price now, and i dont know of anyone doing repo parts for them either at present

You might be able to use the cab off the SIKU MF 9240 or even use it as a base, it was also available as a SAME 265

thanks robbo a very good idea yeh thats the seem cab as on the lamborghini traction265.i was just looking at all my tractor models and seeing which ones have a similiar roof and the Renault 103-54.would this cab be any good?

[margerisons]

also the cab to the New Holland Fiat L85/New Holland Ford 6635 is very similiar.would this work with a little modifying?
