Fordson Standard N Model 1940–41 Land Utility Tractor “Green”

and ScaleX Fordson N Sagged Wheel Set

FirstLook   

The MiniArt Fordson N tractor kit includes decals and options to build a World War Two–era RAF airfield tractor.

The kit goes together with relative ease, although careful attention must be paid to the position of the various wire pulleys, which the modeller must scratch-build.

The MiniArt kit is supplied with standard Dunlop R-4 industrial tractor tyres with agricultural-style lugs.

The ScaleX Fordson N sagged wheel set (WW35005S) allows the modeller to represent an early RAF airfield tractor fitted with the smaller 24-inch diameter wheels, replacing the Dunlop R-4s.

These ScaleX wheels impart a distinctive rearward tilt to the tractor, accurately reflecting the reduced wheel diameter. It is worth noting that reference photographs of this variant show the tractor without rear mudguards and upper exhaust outlets.

Once again, ScaleX provides the modeller with an opportunity to produce a uniquely accurate vehicle, enhanced by authentic wheel and tyre detail.

Both Highly Recommended
