Finished the 7800 today! Complete with cab glass, more realistic steering wheel, detailed interior, detailed exterior paint, scratch built hand rails, filled seams, and new rubber! I did have some trouble keeping the plastruct sheets from getting scratched but you can only see it up close. Any feedback is welcome!

That looks good. Your cab class looks great. I just finished a 7800 as well must be a popular project.

That's a really good job there! Cool to see a 2wd customized, seems like I usually see the FWA getting customized.

Thanks Aaron and Tyler! I actually had no plan to do this one, I just bought it because I needed a loader for my 4020. But I also had a set of tires that I was planning on using for a combine that were a little to small for that project so I threw this together instead. It was my first attempt at filling seams as well and I'm very happy with how that turned out.

When I put it back on I just put a little super glue on it. It probably would have stuck on its own still but better safe than sorry. The yellow stripe decal I bought from Bossens. I actually did the cab glass after it was back together and cut each individual piece! |
