Might of been me I'm afraid gents. I hadn't got around to authorising it. Apologies
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That is very very cool 😎 😀

Strangely I have that same Yamar kit set sitting on my watch list on my fav auction site 😊
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Kits of tractors? Whatever next?

Does anyone do a kit of a combine harvester perhaps? And how would you whiff one anyway?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

It looks great! Now if it was towing a T-80 tank to the repair shop it would be even cooler!

Looks great! First thought was of it towing a Russian tank, but I don't think the Ukrainians have many John Deere products.

Kit - Hasegawa has a pretty large catalog of Japanese farm utility vehicles in 1/35 scale They can be a bit fussy to built (and paint!) but are pretty good, overall.

The story I heard was when Russia invaded Ukraine the first thing they did was start stealing all the farm equipment. John Deere was able to send out a code by satellite to all the newer machines to make them unable to start the engines.

Well change the front to something with a bit more of an aggressive cutting/slicing mechanism with perhaps a line of zombies............ ;D

There's quite a few tractor kits, Heller and Revell have done several in 1/24, Miniart have done some German wartime ones in 1/35.

I started a Revell Porsche Junior,  it was more faffy than I expected. I was 50/50 about finishing it really world or in Gulf Colours.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
