A New addition has officially joined the fleet today, a LWB Land Rover purchased  off E bay, Complete apart from the rear lights ( which I have remade from clear sprigs from and Airfix kit) Tow eye clip all glass (both doors windscreen and canopy side windows present) just stripped to component form shot blasted body and chassis and gave it a full re paint and some new decals for the doors, not entirely happy with the weathered galvi effect I tried on the front bumper, very pleased with it and could have left as was as the paint was not so bad but fort £12.50.....2 days later one with slightly better original paint went for £46.00 on E bay. Will post up more pics as I work out how to resize :of

Two more purchases from Spalding I forgot to add to my collection thread, a haybob and hay rake, kindly modeled by a Ford and a Massey just to keep it even, they were both £5 each a steal I think, there was the blue and brown haybob for £5 aswell and Im kicking myself for not picking that up aswell  :'(  not my colours of choice red and yellow but its the rarer version.

Nice buys. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the even more uncommon r&y bobs that have the original "Lely" decal (as noted elsewhere on the forum, probably factory leftovers from the old blue and red haybob)

The original blue and red Lely Snipe had the Lely logo printed in red on a white label.

The one on some of the later re-issue red and yellow ones was a red label with the Lely logo in white or yellow (I can't remember which without searching mine out ::) ), so they weren't leftovers.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that Ploughmaster  :)
