Bennyg Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Hi lads, looks like the 1/32 Esci Volvo trucks are getting a run. Also the MF 2680. Enjoy. https://www.heller.fr/img/cms/catalogue/catalogue_heller_2018.pdf Ben
Atmobil Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Many cool things in that catalog. I like to see the Volvo F12 back and also the Renault 8 Gordini and the Massey Ferguson tractor is great to see back as I have been looking for it for several years and eveyr time I come across one the cost almost as much as a full scale tractor. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing I'm certainly looking forward to the Volvo F12 in 1/32. I've wanted knee for ages. Hopefully Heller surprises us with the 1/32 AMT trucks one day. Ben
Mike999 Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I didn't see this in the Heller catalog, but it sure looks interesting. A package of 2 tractor kits, the Ferguson TS-20 & FF-30, plus a history book and glue/paint. The kit number is 52323. Several U.S. vendors show it as an upcoming release. One already has it in stock for $59.95, saying regular retail is $74.95. We'll need a tractor expert to tell us the difference between a TS-20 and an FF-30, but they look pretty much the same except for paint.
landman Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) One looks more like a Ford 8N.........And after checking it out on the web it appears to be a later version of the grey one. Looks like it was built right up into the late 50's. Edited January 27, 2018 by landman Added content.

The parts to build the FF were already in the Ferguson kit, this is just a package with two complete kits and the book. Within the actual 1:1 the TE was built in England, the FF in France later in the production run with completely French sourced parts, so it had a different seat, steering wheel, front wheels, headlights, and distinctive paint job.
Mike999 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Thanks for the info and updates. As someone pointed out in the other Heller 2018 thread, this package IS in the new catalog. I just zipped thru the PDF file of the catalog and missed it. Good to know that the FF parts are already in the TE kit. I waited a long time for a U.S. vendor to get this tractor. When a vendor finally did, I bought 2 of the kits. (It helped that they were on sale.) Haven't opened either kit yet.
oldcarfan Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Does anyone know how much work would be needed to make the Ferguson into a Ford?
