Looks like it's going to be a nice build!

Thanks Leo and Thanks for following along.

Just a quick update, the tractor was in the paint shop for a coat of primer. I used Floquil(Now Testor's) Grey Primer. Raymo

I love little details on the layout.

I hope you post more, especially as you apply the topcoats. I'm not too familiar with your work... will you be weathering the tractor?

Kyle, Thanks for following along. I'll apply light weathering to this tractor as it would be fairly new in the era I model. Raymo

Well the tractor entered the paint shop and got its coat of green and yellow. My go-to colors for the John Deere are Floquil MKT green and Santa Fe yellow. When I run out I'll switch to Tru-Color BN green and WFE yellow.

Did some detail painting after the Floquil dried. Seat was painted yellow,silver for the bowl on the air cleaner, Matte black for the dash and controls,Grimy black for tires and the exhaust.

I also used "The Detailer" in and around the engine and on the side grilles and started to paint "Farmer Fred".

Time to start applying the wheels and tires

Tractor is mostly assembled at this point

I've added a yellow stripe to the side of the hood and one last trip to the paint shop to apply some Dullcoat to even everything out.

Raymo

Just need to do some final touch-up and light weathering and get rid of Farmer Freds black eye and this one will be ready for the fields. I'll post final photos then. Raymo
