doogie7046 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Just finished up this vintage ERTL John Deere Backhoe. The kit was missing the decals but I had a tight deadline to get it finished as it was built as a gift for someone. Definitely a fun build. ERTL kits just seem to fall together.

doogie7046 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks for the comments. Its a surprise gift that went to my cousin's husband. He had a excavating company with dumptrucks and backhoes. I already built him a Ford dumptruck and IH S Series salt spreader and this is just another to add to his collection. He loved it. I went to the John Deere dealer and the correct shade of yellow is actually a light yellow but I liked the darker one so I bought the 1995 and newer construction yellow paint. I hope they reissue this kit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
