> Having seen one of these tractors parked next to a Fordson F at a rally, the Fiat is head and shoulders above the Fordson.
Ibndeed the Fordson engine at 1:4 scales very close to ETW's Seal, curioously a side valve of such similar layout you could amost drop it in such a model!
I hadn't really grasped the reality of modelling a tractor at 1/8 scale untill I watched the John Deere video. Things like the gearstick must have to be made from medium carbon steel, just so they don't bend.
The reduced amount of metal to remove partly explains the rapid progress, but on the other hand it makes my jaw drop to realise what fine work is being done.
