FordTractorCrazy Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 From a US contact i have been told that Universal Hobbies will release a Ford 5000 European and US version. model nr. 2704 and 2705 if i am not mistaken. i am curious about the differences if there are any.. or if this was bogus? I do own a Ford 5000 Ernest Doe limited edition from UH which is probably the same as the european edition except for the great display plate and certificate of being a low numbered release etc.. bla bla bla (pictures, check my site www.fordcrazy001.com (collection Ford 1000-series part ). But if it looks anything like that.. i am one of the first to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 If there is to be a U.S version, my guess that it would be similar to the Ertl precision one that came out a few years back, wider rear tyres on 28 wheels with weights, headlamps on the top, each side of the nose-cone, warning triangle on the back of the seat, glass bowl air pre-cleaner.

FordTractorCrazy Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 You could be right. i have that ERTL precision too and it is a superb model. a later model than the one UH is using for their european version. my guess is that the mudguards will be square and the front grill will be changed a bit. but i am not sure as i havent found any information on this model yet.

powerrabbit Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Ertl did a few precision Ford based models in 1:16, I have the pale grey and bright red 9N with that slatted-bar guard on the front, that's a good model. Also got the 2 furrow Deerborn plough and grader blade set for it that came out seperately. Going back to the UH 5000, if they are going to do one I will hear about it from my freindly dealer, he's got his finger on the pulse. If I hear anything I will keep all informed.

FordTractorCrazy Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 i know about the Ertl precision line in 1:16 scale. own them all. and in all fairness.. the Universal Hobbies 1:16 models are as great if not better. but the best Ford precision are from Danbury Mint. If you have ever seen their Ford 2000 or Ford 8N you know what i mean. well, if you find anything out about it, i reaaaaalllllyyyy would like to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Wil, I have also heard this, but about 3 months ago from a contact of mine in the States, I have just sent him another e-mail (thanks for the reminder ) I was told that there was going to be a slight mod change on the mudguards (sorry cannot remember what though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the news about a US version of the Ford 5000 from a US contact too.. It sounds pretty much like i tought. that the mudgaurds will be more like the ERTL precision Ford 5000. thanks and keep my up to date if you would..

MDFord Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I hope they will bring out a Force version as well, and some 1/32 ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
