A few more from the collection then. Most recent addition is the second image, added yesterday

This model is now planned for 2010. However, its less to do with RC2 and more to do with Massey tinkering with the real machine and delaying the release.

I am not sure if this is related or not, but appears to be similar size and style. This is from Brazil. Jue Toys? Cant tell if its plastic or not.

Ive been "home" home, but only a couple of times to home, which is mum and dads I took the pictures but havn't transferred them on to the computer. Thanks for reminding me!

Who is going to do a first review comparison between this and the siku JCB item? I would be very interested to see that

I will be adding all of the small orders (1 - 4 models) to the shop in the coming weeks, or sending out an email invoice if you dont have a shop account. There has obviously been several large orders made, but please remember the small orders get priority and any remaining will then be allocated to the large orders on a first come, first serve basis.

Ok, so here we have a provisional sample of the upcoming Spalding Autumn Show model. There will be a few changes on the final version as we have found a few issues with the sample. Enjoy

I am pleased to say that you can place an order for this book with FTF. The item has been added to our FTF online shop. I am currently in the process of reviewing the publication for Model Farmer Magazine and at this stage it gets a firm thumbs up from me. Lots of information, facts and figures, images etc..

Wow Pete, that looks great! We should get Bill Walters to have a look at it, I am sure he would be impressed and might sign you up!

They think it is just a bad strain. Unusual however as the foot went over forwards, rather than twisting.

I Fell badly on my ankle last night playing football. Visit to hospital this morning to get it looked at and now on crutches for a few days.

The FTF allocation for this model is now provisionally sold out. Those who ordered the model will see an order in their FTF shop accounts (if you have one) around the start of the September. If you do not have one then we will email you an invoice. The sample model will be shown next week, just waiting on the delivery from Siku.

It came with this one too, but the box this time has the card insert in the back right area of the box.

As far as I am aware, its not the ebay one. One former owner since new I think. Looking at the packaging, the item could be a factory mis-match since all other farm land rovers seem to be in the different box variation. This one seems to be in the common Zoo and Military box. Sorry you edited your post before I submitted this

Thats an interesting reference site. thanks for the link.

Other Images

A recent purchase, but noticed the canopy appears to be rather unusual. I dont think I have seen a cream version. Does anyone know if this was a common variation?

Thanks Tim, I will have a go and let you know how I get on! An example of the task in hand is the LWB land rover in another topic on this board.

I dont think they do. I guess the doe show models have established a good relationship between Accurate Diecast and Doe. Since the show models have generally sold so well, I suppose they feel they can do further items too.

Another topic bump! I am looking for anyone who is skilled in the art of replacing the cellophane on older Britains models.

The item is available according to their trade website, but may be being held by the warehouse for some reason.

Agreed, the site will be updated shortly.

East Midlands or Stansted are the closest.

Very nice. When I get home at the weekend, I will post up our others.

Its an unusual item in that the ebay price is normally lower than the price you will pay at a toyfair or auction. I have seen a few priced at around £700/800, and seen one sell for over £1000 at an auction!
