The author's imaginary world lets her explore the sort of problems that other east European émigrés in Britain often fear but seldom confront: chiefly, what to do with people we are supposed to like but don't trust or understand.It adds up to a clever, touching story." - Jessica Mann, Daily Telegraph "Lots more happens but the plot is really a vehicle for social satire, some good jokes and an overdose of slapstick.Most liked it, some very much - and many even found it funny !

I was pleased to see that the genuine color is a very close match to the Testers Red that I painted my 1155 with.A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian - Marina Lewycka Since I work part-time at a farm supply store now, I was able to buy Massey Ferguson Red spray paint at an employee discount, so I could paint the tractor the genuine color. The real tractor was produced in the early 1980's, so it's a good companion to my Ertl 1155 which was produced in the late 70's. Note the clean sweep of the windshield wiper - I'm kind of proud of that. The mud on the tires is not totally satisfactory to me, I might revisit that again later. I muddied up the front axle and fenders with blobs of putty painted brown, and sprayed light gray as a film of dirt over the lower half of the tractor. I was glad the kit came with tractor weights hanging on the front, but they looked like a uniform block of plastic, so I scored the block to delineate the individual weights, and modified the handles to look more realistic. Other than those modifications I didn't change much. Since I was making this one a working tractor, I muddied up the floor and added a scratch-built shotgun and box of shells. You can see from the cabin shot that it was pretty sparse - just a seat! I scratch built the floor mats, control panels and gear shifter from plastic sheet and rod, with balls of white glue for the shifter handles. The kit also suffers a bit from the "moving parts" issue in the front axle and the 3-point hitch (the 3-point is actually moveable up and down) which makes it less accurate. It only has 46 parts, whereas the old Ertl kits have 125. This is one of the few modern tractor kits out there, and it is a press-fit kit with not a lot of detail. ![]() Fast forward six months to October and I still had not received the kit! I emailed the company and they replied, "Who are you?" They had forgotten all about my order and shipped it right away by boat, so I finally(!) got the kit the second week of November. I bought this kit off of eBay back in late March from a company in Germany, and was informed by the seller that they would not be able to ship right away because of COVID. Here's the latest addition to my tractor collection, Heller's Massey Ferguson 2680.
