Nice little model Fred, are the corgi's 1/32 scale or could they suite some of the smaller David Brown models? I know Corgi done some of the bigger models of David browns, like the 1212 I think.

The Corgi D.B. 1412 Ronan was the only D.B. 'model' Corgi ever produced, the white and red one was the first type, produced in 1972 and came on it's own, in a set with a red plastic bodied dump trailer and another set containing the tractor, trailer, corn silo and auger. Corgi re-released the tractor and dump trailer in the early 1990's as a set, this time the decals were non-descript on the tractor and it was a 'muddy' green and red livery and the trailer body was muddy green as well, this set was not very successful and sold poorly and were withdrawn in less than a year. The scale was said to be 1:48. Corgi never really specified an actual scale until they started producing their larger scale vehicles which were 1:50. It was NZG that produced the 1212 in the 1:22 scale and other related models such as the Case Agriking equal wheel 'crab steer' in the slightly smaller 1:25 scale. The Dinky Toys D.B. models, red Implematic 990, white and chocolate Selectamatic 990 and the white and red 995 were nearer 1:43 scale but again not specified so.
