Agreed but as others have said I believe there is a very good chance UH will be modelling the Axion. Just need to wait......................

I think you will find that the UH Axion that's been announced is one of their minature key rings. Siku appear to have first rights to model the Axion and the Siku version will be available from Claas soon. Goes on general release 3 weeks after Claas get their's.

Hi and welcome. To add a little info to the set you are seeking. Britains have issued this set many times, each issue has had a different version of Ford tractor. It was produced from 1964 to 1981 and the Reference Number for the sets issued is 9630. I have only one example of this set - a Ford Force 5000 Square Mudguards/Blue + Grey Cab/Auto Hitch but there must be at least 3 further versions available. In the last year various versions of this set have been listed on Ebay and have sold for between ?77-00 and ?135 plus postage.

If you can find me a white Fendt 312 that would be great. Otherwise I'll have to wait a while and see what comes up for sale. I understood each Fendt dealer only got 10 models and they sold out the day.

Yes I've seen the white Fendt, can't get one in the UK yet. If they can sell 3,000 to 3,500 white Fendt's in Germany then I can see no problem in selling 1,500 'Fendt' Deutz. As you say if enough people buy then they will keep being released. The objective of the game is to get money out of our pockets..........

Well we have had various coloured Fendt and Deutz models. It would seeem that Massey Ferguson are next..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIKU-Massey-Ferguson-Landini-Color-komp-UH-BRITAINS_W0QQitemZ120116131229QQihZ002QQcategoryZ84996QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I've ordered one, be good to see what it's actually like in the flesh. Only 1500 made and I suspect a lot of those will be sold in Germany.

Where abouts on amazon.com? What search did you use? Thanks

These models were produce for a French magazine, a part-work. There is quite a few in the series. I've seen some of them and they are quite nice. The scale is 1/43rd and I understand UH will be releasing them as a new standard range in the future.

From what I remember the ploughing match was all a mixture of tractors but mainly vintage, with nothing less than 5/6 years old. In a seperate field were the three modern tractors as pictured giving a demonstration of new tractors and ploughs. Sorry can't recall anymore, at the time I have my 7 year old daughter with me who wanted to go home and nagged till we did. It was the only time the event has been held at Ottery and I wish I could have stayed longer. Also the camera was a film jobby so only took a few photos as cash was tight. Today I'd take several hundred on the digital at the same sort of event.

If it was 1995 the they would have be an N plate. P plate would make it 1996 and R plate 1997.

I was going through a cupboard last night and came across an envelope of tractor photo's. These were all taken at a weekend ploughing match at Ottery St Mary, East Devon one September weekend sometime in the 1990's. Somebody will be able to give the exact year as the Massey 6150/4270 and NH 8160 were brand new demonstrators from local dealers. My guess would be 1995. Enjoy.....

Here's a couple of photo's of the two versions of potato box I made in spruce. It's a nicer material than balsa and you don't really need to paint/colour it.

I have one...somewhere. It was only available for a short period in 1994. It wasn't shown in the catalogue. As far as I can recall I think it was a colour variation on the standard Defender 90. The only 'special' thing about it was the short period of being available in the shops.

As far as I can find out the Renault 936RZ on duals was only issued in a green UH Country Collection box. Like gromittigger I just need these 925 Specials for a full set. If you are looking for a Renault 936RZ on duals then may like to know that the UH reference number for this model is 2205, it may help your search. I got mine from G + M ......old stock!!

Is that Swavesey College Ben? amended post due to fact i'm using Seans Batteries for my keyboard and keys dont respond in time!....sorry PDH ;)

He only accepts cash or bank transfer - that's as per his payment instructions in Catalogue No 6.

It was discontinued at the end of 2003.

Henri is a nice guy. I emailed him and ordered a catalogue about 4 months ago. He posted the catalogue and it got here before I had the chance to send the payment for it. He likes cash....no credit cards/PayPal. He will take a bank transfer but charges 12 Euro's for the privilege. Catalogue is well worth the money, parts are good. Just a b*gger about the payment method.

Looks like another sticker covering the hole where the mirror is mounted.
