I’ve spent some hard evening sessions working on this little Fordson tractor and here it is: the construction complete at last. I managed to make two left wheels instead of a left and a right, and though at first I thought it might not notice; it looked odd, which it was, and I had to unsolder all the strakes on one wheel and turn them round so they ran in the right direction; I think it was worth the trouble. I’ve just sprayed the model with etching primer as the brass parts need this treatment and I’m sure the white metal components won’t mind. I used my new Badger spray gun which I bought especially for spraying etching primer as I didn’t want to put this stuff through my air brush; it only cost about fifteen pounds and is proving a really worthwhile piece of kit.
