I have replaced the acetate on a number of boxed models I have sold on ebay over the past few years, in all honesty it does not seem to have made any difference to the prices they have achieved in terms of they have been virtually the same as 'original' complete boxes.I think provided you do it well enough as powerabbit suggests 9.9/10 it will not make any difference in fact sometimes they actually look a lot better as it does stiffen up the boxes.There wiil always be those who will want something that is absolutely 100% original in every aspect of course but it depends where your priorities lie.Hope this helps. PS-I always state I have replaced the acetate

I think you will find this particular ebay seller makes a habit of this sort of thing on the basis sometimes he finds a mug and sometimes he doesn't. (). He was also the seller of the infamous 'Terminator' Shawnee Poole Dump Trailer which was featured on here a while back.He is still up to his usual tricks on that front as well I have noticed recently. )Sadly ebay did not appear to want to do anything about it -you have been warned!!

Oops forgot to photograph one-I have a Bamfords BL58 Baler in the old style sliding plinth box too -yes it is mint and complete -sorry put everything away now!

Thanks for the comments guys-in answer to the various questions- 1) The plough nearest the front on the first photo-no that is what is known as a packing case box and slides in and out on a plinth-from the late 60's. 2) I would consider selling individual items as well as the whole collection. 3) I have been collecting for sometime as some as you may have guessed-some are childhood aquisitions some later. 4) Apart from some very minor paint chips on only some of the models all of them are in mint condition.I have replaced the acetate on a couple of the implement boxes as accurately as possible. 5)The motors on the powerfarm models were working last time I checked them. 6) The Picture with the straw box models the -one is a MF595 the other is a genuine MF590.

Really the last one-not strictly farm models but thought they may be of interest.

last but one -honest!

Thought I may as well put the lot on!

Last one-I do have some other Britains boxed models also -I will try and post a full list soon.

And another -and yes one of them is a genuine MF590 !

Another one!

Some more!
