1:8 scale diecast MF Te20 farm tractor model

by Charles King on February 20, 2024 · in Automotive · 18 ≡

My very first 1:8 scale dicast model. The details are beautiful and the weathering and painting were fun to do on such a big scale model like this farm tractor. The customer was satisfied with the results. I've added 'before' photos.

1:8 Excelsior-Henderson Super X – 3D Scratch Built

by Matt Minnichsoffer on February 19, 2024 · in Automotive · 16 ≡
