Doesn't look like a tractor!

Whilst I peacefully slumbered away last night the glue joining the initial parts of the Heller Fergie tractor was drying ready for me to continue to strike whilst the iron was hot on this kit.

As I outlined yesterday where two parts are glued together there is usually a seam line that needs to be smoothed out and this was the one on the main engine/gearbox/transmission backbone of the tractor. Nothing that some needle files and fine abrading paper can't solve though.

With that done I could start to attach various parts to the backbone. I have some idea of what some of them represent but not being a tractor fanatic there are parts that I have no idea of what they do in real life. However you can see that the fuel tank is fitted on top of the engine and the beam for the front axel is attached. So it is making progress but I guess not many people would recognise this as a tractor - yet!

Next on the agenda is applying the rear axle. maybe it will look more like a tractor then?
