I am intrigued, and i'm not sure why.

Super excited for the new tractor kit, I love the Easy Click kits.

Do I see 2 different Fendt tractors?  The 728 Vario and the F20.  The earlier releases must be selling well!

I like them too, I'm just not so sure I like it $106 worth. One has to hope that's a misprint, even with 80 or so more parts than the "antique" Fendt that doesn't justify the 225% price increase - my LHS sells the earlier kit for less than $35.

You do understand the difference between the MSRP that a manufacturer puts out and what the item will sell for correct?   Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price generally means absolutely nothing unless a Brand requires sellers to use MAP Pricing which Revell does not.  You will have to wait for the kit to hit the shelves before you can complain about the price and determine if the price justifies your purchase.

Saaaaaaay whaaaaaa? There's a difference? Noooooo waaaaaaaay. Alright I'm giving you a hard time because you're the new guy who decided to thud in here and try to explain the world.  I know it won't be $106 on the shelf but...

Pre-orders on this in Europe are running at $75 US, which doesn't account for shipping which would run around $15-20.  Don't count on it being any cheaper on the kit price itself in the U.S.  The current Revell business model no longer force ships RevellAG kits out to U.S. retailers, meaning hobby shops/online vendors have to specifically order in this stuff now.  There is an overall large increase on upcoming RevellAG kits in general in 2024, and this tractor isn't something that would get a North American re-box kit at normal Revell U.S. prices.

Yeah thats a bit much, for $106 thats a hard pass.

I'll buy one to go along with my other tractors. It must be a bit of ancestry in me, because the majority of my family hasn't lived on a farm for over 80 years. Just something about them...

Another tractor brand I'm not familiar with.

I hope they'd consider a 1920s Fordson.

My grandparents had a cattle property (ranch?). I’ve got a few tractors in my collection too.

When I bought my tractor kit, I went to the local dealer to pick up a can of Fendt Green aerosol. It's all AGCO, so if you don't have a Fendt dealer, a MF dealer can get it for you as well.

Maybe some more farmer's protests in Europe at the time of release will give this one an extra boost

I know home depot has generic "close" tractor paint. But im not sure if they carry this green. But good tip, thanks! I know where my JD and New Holland dealers are. Don't know of any Massey or Case near. I'm sure it's online somewhere lol.

Many farm supply stores will have matching paint for different tractor brands. Also some rural hardware stores.

the ral code for fendt green is 6160. any paint shop can mix this as its a base colour. the manufacturers will give it their own code and name but the ral code is consistent between manufacturers

[oldcarfan]

I bought several of Revell's other tractor kits, in hopes of encouraging them to do more. Now I hope they'll do a series of American tractors as some of them were either built or imported into Europe and the UK as well. I'd love to have a couple of Ford 9Ns!

[Chuck Most]

A farm about two miles to the west of my house has a half dozen Fendts. Always covered in pulverized gravel dust and mud. And there's a Fendt dealer in the county so getting the correct paint shouldn't be a problem. I say bring it. ?

[oldcarfan]

I bought 3 of the Porsche tractor and I have a couple of this, now I wish they'd do a couple of American tractors. My father in law has a nice 9N Ford sitting under his carport if they want to use it for photos.

[stavanzer]

Closest you'll get to a 9N is the Heller kit.

And other than being similar size that isn't even close.
