I'm almost embarassed to admit I don't know how to tell an M from an H from a distance... The deal is thus, Model Railroader has an article in their current issue with tractors on a flatcar. Pretty cool, I like tractors and trains. Problem #1 they say put a little blob of white to indicate its a model "M", well, if you put a little blob of white it makes it look like a Super to begin with, and besides theres plenty of space to put a small decal "M" or "H" for that matter if you wanted. Problem #2 they then say to put a little strip of white for where the "Farmall" decal would be. Then they proceed to show it in a picture, but its wrong, way too far forward and low, which also makes the blob in problem #1 in the wrong place. Problem #3 The models they have really look like supers, kinda. Theres no battery box under the gas tank, and from what I can make out of the seat it looks like the later Super style. Problem #4, They then put some colors on the side that are just, well wierd. Like a strip of yellow on what I'd guess is the oil filter cannister. I suppose that makes sense, but I can't figure it to be that prominent. Then they don't paint the seat silver... Wierd. Problem #5 I don't think the author has any idea when the tractors were made or how with just a few mods he could make the cars very time specific. I think I could pretty easily make a little battery box for under the tank and then obscure the seat a little and call it an M and make it earlier, then with a little cream color on the grill call it a 400 and make it much later.... Anyhow I plan on writing a little note, but wanted my H vs M ducks in a row before I did.
