What's in the box? - Tronico 10080 Massey Ferguson

for this "What's in the box" I've taken a bit of a step away from my usual plastic kits. We recently took delivery of a new range of products, Tronico Metal Kits, This is a range of DIY tractor/construction kits we picked up at the Nuremberg Toy Fair earlier this year.

I've picked one kit to have a look at, the 1/16th scale Massey Ferguson 8690. First of all Tronico recommend ages 8+ and adult help for children under 12, The kits also come with a 2 year warranty, that's a better warranty than I got with my last car! The first thing you notice is the weight, this is a big solid metal kit consisting of 1024 parts, 95% of the parts are metal but there are some plastic parts, steering wheel, tyres and the lights.

What you get on opening the box, everything is packed well and neatly which makes planning your build a lot easier

The instructions look a little daunting at first but they are very well illustrated and seem easy to follow.

With everything laid out on the floor you get a better idea of what you get.

All tools needed to build the Massey Ferguson are included in the kit, very handy!

The rubber tyres are very accurate replicas of the originals, they give the kit a great finish

Some of the many many metal parts, all are very well finished, no rough edges which adds to the quality finish of this kit 

 Plenty of nuts and bolts to keep you busy! The good news is that we keep spares for the kits so if any part is missing we can replace it.

The only plastic parts in the kit (apart from they tyres) The coloured rubber are for lights and indicators, You also get decals with each kit.

Over the coming week(s) I'll be assembling one of these beauties, I'll take photos of my progress, hopefully swift progress. This is currently available on our site for €59.95

Thanks for reading.
