w124bob Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Althought it's been out a while now I've only just got mine, it's a lovely model but be warned it's fragile in a few areas. Most of the pivot points use a steel pin except for the arc movement of the wing end blade, this is a plastic part and very vunerable . I've found out the hard way! I chose the unlettered modern version, it's very orange but a good weathering challenge. I also noticed that once out of the box the wings don't sit as close to the sides as they should, they spring out slightly due I assume to the slightly over scale rams . Paperwork with the model is a reprint of the original kit instructions. At nearly £90 it's not cheap but we won't be buying multiples of it unlike other models. It also doesn't look easy to alter the cab /front blade to update it further althought the modern lights fittings and orange livery certainly add a modernish look. I'll post piccies as soon as I finish the weathering and an idea to get the wings in a more normal running position . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon A Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Squeaky, is that two different main plough blades? The first picture shows the top edge as a definite V, where as the third picture shows the top edge as a straight line. Gordon A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look straight though! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
