Cab should be the same size

To my eye, the only manufacturer who managed to make the 9/1056 look accurate has been Britains. We’ve had a few of the real things over the years and to be honest Britains captured them well with the long, low bonnet line that characterised them. Sean hit the nail on the head, it’s far too similar to the 12/1455’s , but then I suppose they have the tooling for those so it was bound to happen

Thanks very much Simon, I am hoping to do some more, but it’ll probably be later in the year before I get to them I would think 👍

What's your latest farm/Construction buy in 2023

Have to say mate, I don’t think Paul’s done anything wrong here, I’m sure we all have models in our collection that we’ve bought cheap over the years that are worth a lot more now but we wouldn’t sell them for what we paid for them. I don’t see that as greed, just human nature 🤷🏻♂️😉 -
I accept that it wasn’t his fault at all that Hermes were stupid enough to leave it in our bin and not send us notification that it had been delivered, but the way he went about resolving the problem was very poor, as I said bordering on sarcastic. However, we got refunded through our bank , and there’s no way I would ever buy from him again, so in the end it’s his loss I reckon Jack😉

My advice would be to avoid, I’d dealt with him for years both on line and in person at the Lakeland show. Long story short we ordered a model for Sam’s birthday, got an email to say it was being dispatched and that delivery could take up to six days. After a week nothing had appeared, so contacted him. He came back to me saying it had been delivered and sent us a photo of the delivery site, which was inside our recycling bin at the end of our farm road, which is outside our property boundary on the grass verge next to the main road. The problem was that our bin had been emptied a couple of days earlier and the model with it. Explained all this to him, didn’t want to know, even sent a sarcastic reply saying that perhaps we should put a note on the bin next time saying not to leave any parcels in there, which really boiled my piss. Anyway, he made it quite clear that it was our problem and there would be no replacement or refund…..how wrong he was though!
