@SpinyThere was also Zetor and Ursus Russian built tractors. There was a Zetor dealer near me. No nonsense but very tough tractors. Gary

Re : paint or not to paint As long as the bare plastic is super smooth and pure white I don't spray . Certainly if there's loads of big decals that's going to cover most of the surface area . Sometimes the plastic is a yellowy white ( Belkits ) so that obviously needs spraying. Personally I don't like a liquid like clear coat shine , certainly on rally cars . Gary

Another memory throw back for me this one. I remember fearing the worse with those big decals around the rear of the car . I gave in and cut the blue stripes off the red . Then painted the red and top coated it with fluorescent orange to get the day glow effect. This worked really well and matched the rest of the day glow on the car . I then added the blue stripes where they needed to be . Nowadays I'm more confident with masking and spraying so that's what I would do now . It's less detailed than the Tamiya Focus's, but looks good when done - and the stance is very Safari too ! Gary

The white overspray in the interior isn't too bad really as it's mainly on the windscreen pillars. You could paint the window surrounds black , as they would be rubber and the rest will be hidden with door cards . Gary

I not 100 % sure but I think it could be a Belarus, a Soviet Union era tractor from the 80's . Gary

Another top build. I reckon your getting the hang of this kit building thing . Gary

Growing up as a farmers son , the larger farms all had Track Marshall " crawlers" specifically to do winter ploughing . Their traction and non soil compacting low ground pressure meant they were a very familiar sight on wet fields where wheeled tractors feared to tread ! Gary

You could be building a rally car interior with wires , pipes , spare wheels and helmet holders complete with highly detailed helmets only for it all to become hidden when the bodyshell goes over the top ..... 🙄 Gary .

Another good looking Fiesta build . A simple and very effective colour scheme . Like the opposite of the monochrome Fiesta I built . Gary

Now look what I've started...🙄 Gary

Been to Flamborough on the North Sea coast today and at a place called North Landing were these old boys . Obviously used for launching and recovering fishing boats they are gradually rusting away . They were originally built near me in Gainsborough. The bay was used in the final scenes of the remake film of Dad's Army and is just a beautiful spot . The bay in all it's glory Gary.

Blue Ferrari at Flamborough today . Gary

This is such a great photo . The rear tyres are just hanging onto those rims and the rear wing looks like it’s straining to keep straight too . Gary .

That’s right . I needed a pint after sorting those pin stripes out …. Gary

Thanks for the comments @keefr22 , @ceeb555 . The current stance of the car looks like the Group N version that ran alongside Llewellins Group A version . Hopefully moving the wheels out a bit will make it look better . Gary .
