Nice work Frank! Is your IH 86 converted to RC as well? I like that you installed cab glass in it.

[Grainfarmer]

It´s not my IH....A friend made tis one. It is converted to rc...
He also was so kind to send me the drawings for the hopper. (thanks Christian!)

I just try to make the cart in copper.

Here are the parts cut out of the copper sheet before soldering:

That tractor is nice! Keeping an eye on this build too.

Frank, is copper better then brass for building models like this?

[Grainfarmer]

It´s nearly the same...both can be soldered well. I just made it from copper because my neughbour is a plumber... ;)

Bress may be a little bit harder...
