Some new additions to the collection! Sometimes you just come across nice items. While digging on Ebay I ended up on the website Toymodels.ie and after some emailing with its owner, Edward White, a big box with models came to Holland.Including this Britains 9646 MF 362 set Also this limited edition Britains 9690 Landrover came along, once made for the National Trust. The large set 9691 I had bought some time ago, so this one fits nicely. But on Dutch websites I also got some items. A quite rare set, Britains 9600 set with Ford 7710 and Wright rain drum. The box is completely shot so I will have to be on the lookout for another one. Britains 9670 New Holland 6635 set. From Flebay for just 25 euro, Britains 9518 Renault 145-14 tractor. A slightly damaged model, the beacon rightside has come lose. A drop of glue is needed there. This one is from Gerco Heikoop, I buy regarly with him. I always love visiting Evert and Sam Nijssen. I never leave empty handed there, on my last visit this Britains 9661 MF 3680 set landed in a carton box. Also a UH Case IH 115U on narrow wheels,limited to 1000 pcs.. And the suprise for that evening was this Britains 9613 Deutz-Fahr DX92 set with front and rear loader. Normally a hard to find item but this one was made for the US toy company Breyer. They had a deal with Britains to sell their models in the USA and instead of having their own boxes. simply added a sticker to them.

Nice Fordson, some Chinese found the old castings is that a limited series?

Interesting, but you never know, we are still waiting for models that were supposed to be released this year ... but that JCB 1CXT looks nice, though not a big fan of building equipement, I might just buy one, a bit querky.

I am with you on that Justin!

I was hoping to finally see some actual models ...

Nice set of rare models, specially in the tradebox.

Yep you will have to, you can only spent your money once

Great models, great photos, and I really like those numberplates on the 2000 & 3000

This is definately the future of model building, and what a work you have done so far! Getting everything drawn must have taken a bit of time I suppose. But indeed a great start and a great 1:1 model to be building!

Boxsets have became REALLY populair the past few months, and prices are going through the roof. You might just wait a bit ...

Truelly great, love that Ford set!

No the museum is more about cows then sheep to be honest. A nice visit with someone elder might be good, it is all about the history of agricutural in Friesland. And since I have a keen interest in this history, and so do my 2 children, a family trip was well worth it.

Superb, hope to see an update soon!

Any news on these yet?

A really nice mix of older and newer models, and also some conversions.

Time for an update (and I just remember I have another box waiting to be photographed :D) During the summer holiday I was in Friesland (north part of the Netherlands) and visited the Fries Landbouw Museum. There I bought this brown Miedema trailer made by Poppema. An older Britains set, 9574 front loader. Ever since announced I really wanted to own this Vicon Sprintmaster by Legend Farm Models. To be part of a mini diorame one day, a Kuhn GA 4521 GM rake. Also on the to-have-list, this Case IH 1494 by UH. To be combined with this 3-furrow plough. Ford 5000 by UH. Kuhn EL 162 rotary tiller, it was on offer somewhere. Britains 9527 Ford 5610 with wide tyres. Britains 9586 Claas Forage Harvester with Kemper head. Ultimate regred I sold this one a few years ago, so back in the collection, this Ertl John Deere 9630T Employee Edition. Also sold a few years ago, but make a nice team with the Sprintmaster, this Marge Models Ford 7610 Gen. 1. A "limited edition", a nice Dutch conversion by Farmmodels, a Fendt 308/90 Holland Farmer (built off a Fendt 509 by Weise). Britains 9522 MF 595 in a gorgeous box! Fiat 110-90DT by Replicagri, an alltime favorite in 1:1 And much easier to collect, because in 1/43, this Fendt Dieselross with 2-furrow plough and Lanz Bulldog met 3-furrow plough, both by Schuco.

Nice models, those Fords are nearly a steal at that money. The MF 6140 I also like, I made a small conversion of it some months ago fitting flotation tyres on it. I will post some pictures soon.

But a great find after all!

Just $ 156,19 so these models have not held their value well.

Looks to be a rare turqouise version, that picture looks quite right to me. Might this be a homemade repainted model?

Wow, what a price for this implement ... you don't come across a green one every day (or even every week, year ..) but that is a steep price somebody paid.

Wow that is a rare one!

A fas as I know this is not a pre production model, but a rather unusual paint job, that is exactly what attracted me to buy it. If it really was a pre production sample, it would have sold for a far better price I guess. Just a quirky conversion, just like the harvester. Thanks, had some conversation with him about shipping. Nice and honest bloke!

Thanks Mike!

Lovely models, I can still remember them from my youth.
