FendtFarmer Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I had a green acrobat a few years ago which I have seem to have misplaced somewhere, now was this a actual Britains item or was it a new paint job as i can't seem to find anything anywhere on a green acrobat just the orange ones.

super6 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yes it is an original Britains colour, not easy to find. I used to ask the sellers the colour when a boxed one appeared on ebay as they can be very indistinct when boxed up. They are out there, as are the beige coloured arms of the little crop sprayer, have to ask about these as well! I think the blue ones with red wheels are not by Britains although the moulds may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hajo Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I am sure Britains used various shades of green for this model, as they did with other models, such as ploughs. Never knew a green Acrobat existed, I will be on the lookout for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 that lighter greens the same as my mf200 trailer and muck spreader so certainly not unusal,but is rare enough to find thats for sure, as mentioned theres at least 2 different shades of green out there we know of, prob more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMB Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 My guess is this was made toward the end of production in 1981, about the time the MF200 tipping trailer first appeared. Mine is quite a light shade of green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
