landman Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) I decided to have a crack at the Heller Ferguson tractor. What a beauty. I have rarely seen such precise moulding. One small drawback though, they give you a 1mm nub to attach the rear wheel hub to. Unfortunately mine are going to be fixed.

landman Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Added the wheels and steering linkage as well as the brake pedals and linkages. Verrrrrrry delicate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglia105E Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Nice looking tractor build Pat, and it is a good example of the unusual subject matter that Heller come up with. Maybe the words ' delicate ' and ' tractor ' don't exactly go together in the same sentence? Every once in a while it is a good idea to build something that is not part of your usual theme. That's why I built the Aoshima Mitsubishi Pajero SWB. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTallDad Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I just ordered one from Amazon. After all, the tractor is my namesake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Almost there. A few details, decals and some very subtle weathering left to do. This has been fun as I learned to drive on a Ford 8N which is very much like this. My uncle's neighbor had a Ferguson just like this except his was all gray.
