0 Ertl Precision Key Series International 5488

Here is the 1/16 die-cast farm tractor International From Ertl Precision Key Series. In my opinion is really a masterpiece; a very heavy tractor with loads of metal on it of course. Details are amazing. The front engine door can be opened, like the two lateral doors and rear windows.

Like a previous post, always in this blog, i bought also the International 1455XL by Universal Hobbies in the same scale but the general quality is not good like this Ertl. You can see a pic of this 1455xl tractor here below.

0 Universal Hobbies International 1455XL in 1:16

Here is my die-cast Universal Hobbies International 1455XL in 1:16 scale. It is in limited edition. Only 2000 pieces worldwide. The real tractor comes form 1983. My model is the no. 544 producted.

This model is well painted with a lot of details. I'm not fully happy due to door and rear window. They cant be opened like the ertl 1:16 prestige series. The price is very similar to ertl so i cant understand why UH choiced this bad option.

In the pics you can se also my other 1:32 International tractor by Schuco and the very nice (and heavy) 1:16 International 5488 by Ertl Key prestige. Yes here you can open the two lateral doors and rear big window.
