Looks pretty good, but one thing. The warning lights go on top of the cab and not on the fenders. If you want to add further detail, add a Moore's small movable 3 pt hitch and air cleaner. I did that to a TW 10 and 9700.

Looks good. I always hope Ertl will make a new tooling for the 9700 and TW series.

Thanks josh, those aren't warning lights though but brake lights on the fenders as seen in the below picture. Still deciding weather or not to put warning lights on top of the cab. Any idea what to use for an air cleaner though? Southern, I wish Ertl will retool the TW series but I'm not holding my breath. They did retool the 66 series though which gives me some hope. In the meantime some Ford TW and 9700 decals would be nice.

I looked on Bossen and they offer 9700 decals. However they don't have any for a TW series. They ever make a new tooling of a Ford. I would love the 9700. Then I would make this Blue Beast I saw at auction several years ago.

That is one heck of tractor, hopefully I can get to a couple of auctions this spring. A Ford 9600 with Duals and canopy is my next project then a probably a low hp New Holland for chore and hay.

I got the Scale Models tractors when I did my 8000 and 9600. When they came out years ago. Now you can get the kit from Moores or Bossen. I think I saw them on Bossen as well. I would love to put a set of ROPS/Canopy on the 9600. But the ones from Moores isn't like what came on them. They are very different than the usual ones. So I left it off for now. I love both of those Big Blues. That is why you see them on my display now. If I can get the 9700 as well. I will add it to my display as well.

] Any idea what to use for an air cleaner though? I used an air cleaner from Moore's and cut it down to size. Here are a couple of pics of my TW 10 and 9700. Both tractors are using the same air cleaner.

your TW-20 is real nice!!! I ordered an 8600 and 9600 from Moores, look forward to seeing them. maybe Ertl will realize these rigs would sell good.

Nice, I am actually looking into to buy a Ford 8600. Still waiting to find the right one and for the funds to come in.
