malcy_p Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Apart from the decals which are in hand - I'm at a loss for what to use for a cutter-bar on this... It's heading towards being a Claas Dominator 96s Classic, but the Gama header is too clunky and spoils the whole model. Siku headers are a bit ikky. Britains? Scratch build? But with what as a base??? All bright ideas gratefully accepted!! /malc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Old britains nh one can be made removable to then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hmmmm.... Britains NH is 5 sided and only the early Doms had 5 sided reels - could use the Britains as a base and scratch build the reel I 'spose. Oh why is nothing simple....! /malc.

Tractorman810 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Any of the uh mf or fendts any good ? . I have done a scratch build header before and it takes some doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Anyone got a spare UH header spare...? Or a Britains combine going for scrap?? /m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Don't suppose you could nick one off a Tucano really? Its a tricky one, and shows the gaping hole in Claas models for a model of a Dominator 96/98 (though it would be the 85 for me). If UH did the Tucano's V750 as a separate piece I'd seriously consider getting one to put on my Lexion 600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 I agree totally re the UH V750 on a Siku 600.... that would be tasty! Just discovered the Siku spares web site... heh heh! I've got a few bits and bobs on their way that might help! Watch this space.... /malc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CX820Joe Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hmm, Lexion could do with new front wheels as well - I was wondering if the ones on the Jaguar 960 are same diameter, at least they don't have Siku plastered over them! I wonder if UH can be contacted about spare header and trailer, the one on the Siku one is really the only thing that lets it down besides my minor niggles about the wheels - especially since I removed the driver and the steering 'thingy'!

Deere-est Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'd go for the Britains MF header then maybe see if you can get a Lexion 600 header off Siku to have a play at using the reel in the MF's cutterbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yes I would try going with the MF 760 header and see what you can do with it - should be able to get a cheap one on the internet somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDeereMan Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What have you made the combine from, it looks fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Arrrgghh dominator convo is looking neat already , Okay I haven't been on here for 2 days but would off suggested a siku fendt/mf header as I painted one in to claas colours and looks allright plus you can paint a header trailer for it as well.

MJB1 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 i would also have a bash at a revamped 760 header malc see a fair few at toy fairs in the scrap boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malcy_p Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 The model is based on the Bruder Dominator... Main mods are the cab and wheels, plus steering to the rear axle. Decals are being prepared too... I'm going to try the Siku Fendt header - I have one which I'll paint up tomorrow... Watch this space!! /malc.

malcy_p Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Blimey - this is a blast from the past! Went with a tweaked Siku header in the end - these were the days before scratch building Dominator headers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
