ukmodeller Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi Fellow members. I love these Hasegawa kits as they are usually of good quality and have plenty of nice details with minimal flashing or anything and this kit is no exception. The parts fit nicely with plenty of nice chrome parts that really emphasise the details and there is a nice little figure included to go with it. The sprues are of various colours and I suppose you could assemble this kit without painting it but I always think it best to paint them yourself, picking out all of the small details. Thanks for looking and I always appreciate any comments you may have. A video can be found HERE 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Very nicely done, it might be even better with a little dirt on the tyre treads, but that's probably the only criticism I could make (and is very much a matter of personal taste).

Thanks John. I did consider some weathering on this but decided to leave it in showroom condition as it will be in full view in my display cabinet with he other Hasegawa construction kits. I do tend to weather most of my kits when I feel it would improve the look. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would be looking that miserable if I was in the middle of a muddy field and thinking how much this piece of equipment cost me 😂😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that they are still using keys from the dark ages, hence all the rural crime... Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is computerised with satellite technology, etc, so you could probably set it up on the edge of a field and set it off on its own to do the work while you lay in a hedge supping a nice pint of best ale..................😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I think a lot of today's tractors are like that, certainly looking at my cousin's tractors they look like as you say like something which could go off and do the job itself (and probably go off to refuel if needed too). A far cry from the old Ford 7710s I drove in a summer job many years ago. I will say that the build itself is lovely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too remember the good old days on the farm when H & S didn't exist and, as kids, you could hang on to the back of tractors or even sit on the rear wheel guards, as well as spending hours trying to get the things started. Young farmers today must need degrees in computer science 😂 Kind regards Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit that worries me is the bit where we were wirebrushing asbestos downpipes in preparation for painting 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Excellent job! The driver's facial expression suggests he prefers a clean tractor and people should keep their hands off it! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
