Great kit, lots of fun!!
Pros: This is a VERY nice little kit, with good, crisp detail, and smooth gray plastic that is easy to work with. The rubber tires, which I usually hate, are actually quite nice, with a very soft, matte finish, not shiny or hard like some aircraft tires I've seen in other kits.
Cons: Lots of tiny, thin, fiddly parts that I found pretty difficult to work with, and I build a lot of models. However, the subject sort of requires this to be accurate, so this should be expected. Some of these small parts have a some fit problems, and it's very difficult to build it so the wheels turn, but that's not hugely important to me. While the detail is crisp, it is not entirely accurate with respect to some of the engine parts, (I have seen many of these tractors) and the fan blades are very thick and out of scale. The grille slats are molded in, so you can't see through the spaces, but at this scale, that would be tough to do well.
Overall: A fun kit, and well worth the 27 USD I paid for it. I would suggest to Heller that they consider adding some photo-etch parts to better replicate those thinner items in future releases, and clarify some of the placement drawings in the instructions (arrows pointing to the wrong places)
I commend Heller for putting this kit out. I hope it sells well and they make many more like it, such as the Ford 8N. I would buy every one they make!!
