One of my traits is that I probably have too many plans and planned projects for one lifetime! That means that I have projects waiting in the wings some of which will get done and some which won't - just like the chores on Mrs. Woody's list for me! The ones that won't may just be down to lack of time but also the passage of time can change your ideas about, what at the time, seem liked a well thought out and reasoned plan becoming one which no longer makes sense! This does mean that sometimes I get something, like a kit, and it ends up in the 'waiting' pile. However there are other things which never see that pile because I strike whilst the iron is hot! That is the case with the Heller 1/25th scale Fergie tractor kit I got for Christmas.
There are two sprues and a set of 6 tyres (there are two different front sets for whether you model the very early Fergie or the layer one).
Having spent some time going through the instructions it was actually time to do some kit building. I tend to join the two part pieces first so that the glue dries over night and I can then eradicate the seam line with some filing and sanding. So after an hour or so the spine of the tractor - the engine, gearbox and rear transmission were joined as were the starter and a couple of cannister type attachments to the engine block. These should hopefully be ready to work on tomorrow when I will hopefully be able to keep this build going before the iron cools!
