texas Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The wheels are looking good on the combine, but you have work enough on this i see. But it will be nice what is coming out off your hands. Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 This is what I like refurbishing old models,the wheels have improved it ten-fold and I'm sure you will make it into a fantastic model. I'll be watching this project with interest Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 This will make a nice change from seeing siku claas lexion 600's. These combines are still a comman sight harvest time were I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Cor, Thomas strikes again, this, I've no doubt, will be another stunner. The base model is a bit of a lemon but with the quality of your work I expect this to turn into a very desirable model. Get cracking Thomas, harvest's on it's way!!!
