The tractor is done - pictures taken in the late afternoon Sun, so the shadows are a bit deep:
The name plate is PE - I scraped off the paint to expose the brass underneath. The front wheels can be posed, so I turned them slightly to the left:
The decals on this kit are great - maybe a bit thick, but most are tiny placards (they provide extras) and a small dial. All three went on without any issue:
Almost dealer showroom clean:
Our French friend for scale:
I'm building a driver figure, but it needs some modification/re-posing. The tractor needs one extra decal - the kit has a "Bei Frostgefahr Wasser ablassen" (Drain the water if there is a risk of freezing) but I need to change the language. Options are:
"Vidanger l'eau en cas de risque de gel" (French)
"Drene a įgua se houver risco de geada" (Portuguese)
"Escorrer a auga se hai risco de xeadas"(Galician)
...and because this has been such an easy build, I added Occitan:
"Escorreu d'aigua se i a un risc de gelada" I cheated a bit and used Catalan as the base language and changed a couple of words.
If any of the above translations are incorrect, please suggest a better one! I'll print the decal and just weather over it, so it may not matter much.
