        On the back of the tractor is a chain. Where did you get that please?


        The finest I have found is 0.95 x 1.45 mm:


        http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brass-link-chain-0-95mm-x-1-45mm-RB-Model-13401-1-35-/182006570356


        which is 0.89 x 1.37 inch, which is a little overscale for a road transporter, I think. What size is yours please?


        EDIT: added details of available chains.

          Sorry for the late reply. I don't exactly remember. But as of rescent, I buy at some cheap store that sells little stuff for girls. They have these small grade chains that seem to look ok. Not sure of the actual size though

            Well done Charles, this is spot on perfect, I love all of the weathering but especially admire the wheels.

                  Stunning build and the weathering makes me keep going back for more one that deserves the middle of the shelf award...


                  One quick question where the heck did you get all the tyres from

                    Thanks. Sorry for the late reply. I had some spare tyres on hand but most were donated by folks from around the world - literally. From Canada, Thailand, England, USA and Australia, if I am not mistaken. The modeling community did good for me.
