is that one of those cheapo body ones mate?? if so i thought the same thing when i saw them, but pondered a jd chassis/wheels for it, looks great doesnt it, and near on the right colour already

yes sean and jason it is only a cheap chinese model i thought it would be near enough for me it looks ok size wise as murry says the wheels could be better , but out on the layout it will look ok

it had bits out the back like you say and you can see where the turning knob was on the mast , it was blue i sprayed it up , it just looked like a manitou to me it is not perfect by any means sean . not sure who makes it

hey , very tidy job, you say blue?...............how similar to a NH one would that be then ????? would that be what it was loosely based on you think?      anyway looks good enough and great tools for it too !!!

  ithink jakescot that it is loosely based on the manitou , i would say more manitou than new holland ,the attachments nashmach only fit that model mate

i have one of these models, got a red one from kiwi (nick) pulled it apart and has sat in the draw since ??? as stated good base model but lacks steering and good wheels, will have to dig it out and have a playaround with it

I missed this one Graham, apologies mate. You've done a nice job with that. Very nice, maybe an old Joal JCB on 1/35th would be good for the wheels?
