Revell Fendt 728 Vario Tractor (Click System) 1/20

Big tractor. Big model. No glue required.

The Revell Fendt 728 Vario Tractor (Click System) 1:20 Model Kit brings one of the most advanced modern agricultural tractors to the modelling bench in an impressively large scale.

Based on the award-winning Fendt 728 Vario Gen7, this substantial 212-part kit combines detailed mechanical features, a fully designed cab, realistic tyres and moving components with Revell’s beginner-friendly Click System. The precision-fit parts are designed to assemble securely without model glue, making this an unusually accessible large-scale vehicle project.

Whether you’re a tractor enthusiast, agricultural machinery collector, experienced modeller or simply looking for something completely different from another aircraft, tank or Gundam, the Fendt 728 Vario makes for an impressive build.

Meet the Fendt 728 Vario Gen7

The Fendt 728 Vario Gen7 sits at the top of Fendt’s 700 Vario range and represents a thoroughly modern approach to agricultural machinery.

The real machine combines around 300 hp with sophisticated control, stability and manoeuvrability technology designed for demanding agricultural work. The 728 Vario Gen7’s engineering has also earned major industry recognition, including Tractor of the Year 2023.

And now Revell has turned it into a 212-piece model.

Which is considerably easier to fit in the house than the real thing.

Huge 1:20 Scale

This isn’t a tiny tractor model.

Revell has produced the Fendt 728 Vario in a substantial 1:20 scale, giving the designers plenty of room to reproduce the shapes and mechanical character of the original machine.

Revell lists the completed model at approximately 278mm long, 136mm wide and 183mm high.

That’s nearly 28cm long.

Once built, this is a proper display piece rather than something that’s going to disappear at the back of the cabinet.

212-Part Build

The Fendt contains an impressive 212 individual parts.

That’s a significant parts count for a Level 2 Click System kit and means there’s plenty of actual building involved.

Revell has used those parts to reproduce not only the tractor’s exterior but also important mechanical and interior areas.

So while the assembly method has been made easier, the model itself certainly hasn’t been reduced to a handful of oversized components.

This is still a proper modelling project.

Revell Click System – No Glue Required

The big advantage is Revell’s Click System.

Precisely manufactured connecting points allow the components to be pushed and clicked securely together, removing the need for conventional model adhesive. Revell also designs the connections so incorrectly positioned parts can potentially be separated and fitted correctly again.

That makes the Fendt considerably more approachable for someone building their first large model.

No glue.

No drying time.

No accidentally attaching your finger to the bonnet.

Just build.

Detailed Multi-Part Engine

One of the highlights is the multi-part engine.

Rather than hiding everything underneath a solid body shell, Revell has included mechanical detail beneath the tractor’s bonnet.

That makes the construction itself more interesting and gives experienced builders another area where additional painting and detailing can really pay off.

Different metallic tones, washes and careful detail painting can transform the engine compartment into one of the highlights of the finished model.

Opening Bonnet

Fortunately, Revell hasn’t gone to the trouble of creating that engine only to permanently hide it.

The Fendt features a movable bonnet, allowing the engine and mechanical detail underneath to remain visible after assembly.

Display it closed for the clean profile of the tractor.

Open it when you want to show off what’s underneath.

Or repeatedly open it to remind everyone that you painted the engine and therefore they are absolutely going to look at it.

Detailed Driver’s Cab

The tractor’s cab is authentically reproduced, providing another focal point for the model.

Modern tractor cabins are considerably more sophisticated than the simple seat-and-steering-wheel arrangement some people might imagine.

At this scale, the large glazed area also makes the interior particularly visible.

That makes careful interior finishing worthwhile, especially for builders who want to take the standard Click System model further.

Large Realistic Tyres

You can’t build a modern 300 hp tractor and give it tiny wheels.

The Fendt’s enormous agricultural tyres are one of the defining features of the finished model, and Revell supplies large-format realistic tyres designed to capture the stance of the full-size machine.

At 1:20 scale they’re particularly impressive.

The huge rear wheels, smaller front wheels and characteristic red Fendt rims give the model an unmistakable agricultural appearance.

It’s also a welcome change for anyone who’s spent the last month painting tank tracks.

Moving Components

This isn’t intended to be a completely static display model.

Revell highlights moving parts as one of the kit’s features, adding a more interactive element to the finished tractor.

Combined with the opening bonnet and detailed engine, these features make the Fendt particularly satisfying once construction is complete.

You haven’t simply built something to look at.

You can actually explore some of the mechanical features represented by the model.

Classic Fendt Appearance

Modern Fendt tractors have a very distinctive appearance.

The combination of Fendt green bodywork, red wheels, dark cab area and enormous tyres immediately identifies the machine.

That also makes the 728 Vario a great modelling subject.

It’s colourful enough to stand out without relying on complicated camouflage schemes or enormous sheets of tiny markings.

The finished tractor should look particularly impressive alongside other agricultural, commercial and engineering models.

Stickers and Decals Included

Revell supplies decals and stickers to add the smaller markings and identification details required to complete the tractor.

That makes the kit accessible at different skill levels.

A newcomer can concentrate on assembly and use the straightforward finishing options.

A more experienced modeller can spend additional time painting, detailing and refining the surfaces before applying the final markings.

Build It Straight from the Box

One of the strengths of Revell’s Click System is that you don’t need a fully equipped modelling workshop before you can enjoy the kit.

The glue-free assembly system means the basic model can be constructed without traditional adhesive.

Follow the illustrated instructions.

Click everything together.

Add the markings.

And you’ve got a large 1:20 Fendt tractor.

For someone new to model building, that’s a very approachable route into the hobby.

Or Take the Detailing Further

Experienced modellers certainly aren’t excluded.

With 212 parts and a large 1:20 scale, there’s plenty of potential for additional work.

Paint the engine.

Detail the cab.

Add subtle washes around mechanical areas.

Enhance the tyre finish.

Pick out hydraulic and mechanical components.

Add light agricultural weathering.

Create realistic dust and dirt around the lower body.

Or build a small farmyard or workshop display base.

The Click System makes the construction easier.

It doesn’t stop you going completely overboard afterwards.

A Great Weathering Project

A tractor is also one of those rare modelling subjects where a little dirt can make it look better.

A factory-fresh Fendt can look fantastic.

But subtle earth tones around the tyres, light dust around the lower body and carefully applied grime around working mechanical areas can give the finished model much more character.

You can recreate a spotless showroom machine.

Or a working tractor that’s actually been out doing what a tractor is supposed to do.

Just don’t bury the entire thing in mud and then wonder why nobody can see your 212-part model underneath.

Level 2 Model Kit

Despite the substantial parts count, Revell rates the Fendt as a Level 2 model and recommends it for builders aged 10 and over.

That’s largely thanks to the Click System.

It makes a model of this size and complexity accessible to younger and less experienced builders without turning the finished result into an oversimplified toy.

It’s also a good family modelling project and an interesting introduction to scale modelling for younger tractor and engineering enthusiasts.

Perfect for Gunpla Builders

If you’re normally building Gunpla, this is a particularly interesting change of pace.

The Click System provides something familiar.

No glue required.

But the subject couldn’t be much more different.

Instead of building an RX-78-2 with a Beam Rifle, you’re assembling a 300 hp German agricultural tractor with enormous tyres and a detailed diesel engine.

The modelling skills still transfer.

Careful part removal.

Clean assembly.

Detail painting.

Decals.

Panel definition.

Weathering.

It’s just that this time the machine you’re building is more likely to be attacking a field than a Zeon mobile suit.

A Model for Tractor Enthusiasts

The Fendt is also a great choice for people who love agricultural machinery but haven’t previously built conventional plastic models.

That’s where the Click System becomes particularly useful.

You don’t need previous experience with traditional glue-based construction to get started.

And because the finished model is so substantial, the result feels much more like a serious collector’s display piece than a small introductory kit.

An Impressive Gift

With its combination of large scale, 212 parts, realistic mechanical detail and glue-free construction, the Fendt 728 Vario makes an excellent gift for tractor enthusiasts, farmers, engineering fans and younger builders interested in machinery.

It’s recognisable.

It’s substantial.

And building it provides far more involvement than simply buying another ready-made tractor model.
