Looks to be a fault from the factory most diffenitly..its not the first time I have got a defective Britains item ..

Just goes to show that you should check it the best way you can for damage before you purchase..Britains also have a very bad reputation for peeling & missing decals ..

It is removable. You will need a very very small philips head..The screws are tiny.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 I had a glance threw some of my models today. I had not opened this box with almost 3 years. These lot are some of my own first attempts at conversions before the arrival of the UH & Marge TWs . Some other oddball stuff hear also. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 The Britains 5610 (wide wheel) version was a good tractor for SWB 6 pot Ford convos back in the day. Spawned a TW-15 & an 8210 from them. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 A TW-30 from a Britains TW-25/35 casting and a tweaked up SIKU 8830. The 8830 was my first convo attempt. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 A DB 1412 I purchased off eBay as an unfinshed project. The Ford 7000 is a recent conversion. I m replicating the FTF 7000 limited edition with that one from a good few years back. The 4000 FOUR is one of my better efforts & the NH chopper still needs a few finishing touches. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
