1/64 American Spirit

         Dusty Kirschman and John Esche both enjoy customizing  1/64 tractors.  Dusty wanted to make a modern version of the 1976 Spirit of  76' Steiger.  He took an STX 440 Ertl Kit and added a Moore's STX detail kit and dozer blade.  John Esche wanted a 1/64 Spirit of 76' Case Agri-King.  John added 76' decals and new tires to his all American tractor.

Don Campbell's 1/32 Grain Cart

        Don Campbell is well known for his large farm and construction pieces made of steel in the 1/12 and 1/16 scales.  Don has also tried his hand in build a 1/32 piece.  In the North America 1/32 is a scale often over looked.  There are many 1/32 4wds and combines but few pieces of equipment.  Although we may see changes in this area in 2004 in a major way from Ertl.  Don Cambell built a 1/32 Killbros grain cart to link the 1/32 combine to the 1/32 4wd.  The model is completely built of steel and its tires are from an Ertl Steiger.
