This model came in a box of interesting items last week, the box it was in had illegal model written on it Does anyone know of the manufacturer? It looks 1/32 and is very well detailled. Thanks Andy

Found this fine example of a pretty rare set, wonder what price it would make on ebay!

Nice to know they are quite rare. Something Ive not considered since I bought them.

Will this be coming out in 2005 Bill or will it be a 2006 Britains release?

It's great that Bill has volunteered himself to answer our questions and queries so lets make it as simple as possible please when posting your suggestions! Ways to do this are: For every suggestion you have, please post each one in a new topic. That way it makes it easier for bill to reply to them. If you do have dozens of suggestions for Bill, please post in moderation. I.E remember that he has limited time on his hands so dont post 20 topics at once, give other people a chance to ask questions! Finally, please stay on topic!! If you have something to add to a suggestion, please do, but keep to the initial subject. Hopefully this will keep us up to date with all the latest developments in the Ertl and Britains Farm depts! Enjoy!!! Regards Andy!

I was unaware Schuco Farm models were as detailled as this. Does anyone one know what scale it is?

On the theme of crazy colours - 2 more prototypes to laugh at - well not so much the black one.

The volvo is quite crazy! They definitely should have released it!!

I did some research into this and the item does appear to be genuine, There was a collection of prototypes at an auction in London a while ago From Charles Biggs, a designer/director/worker at Britains See pictures

no probs!

circa 20 000 produced - price ?45-55

:D :D

Yeh great models, remember driving that green one around my grandads farm in the early 90's

That looks outstanding!.......that shocks even me!!

Every week we see several unboxed models from the basic Britains Turbo range of tractors. I havnt however seen a boxed example in a long while.......have any of you got any of these vehicles?

Quickly becoming a collectors item however!!!

Britain had nothing to do with this what so ever then? Had someone better email the seller informing him his description is incorrect?

So these are not specifically a Britains Model.....just a Ford own brand tractor?

Many of you have probably seen this on ebay at the moment, but was just curious to know if this an actual Britains model. I had no idea they had produced such models if it is true. The only special promo model I can think of is the MB Trac. If any of you have information on this, would be great to hear from you.

It was only in the catalogue for a few years, circa 1976 I think. There were only a few thousand produced at the most. Trouble is people make fakes using the 595 so it is hard to tell a genuine one from a fake....being genuine and boxed, you would expect to pay up to ?400 for it.
