My spalding purchases 

Britains ford 8730 with pound off sticker

20231008_111759.thumb.jpg.8574d80e5afb7190e7b62b6a1c561925.jpg

britains conversion to a Northop. Now I saw one of these at spalding quite a number of years ago but didn't buy it and made enquiries after the show but it sold. So when I saw this I had to buy it, apparently they were made by the apprentices at Northop back in the day. Does anyone have one in their collection?

Few purchases in the last few months 

For the transit collection a couple of DHL transits. I'm led to believe these were done by britains specialy for DHL but I'm not sure does anyone know?

I don't know anything about these Northrops but have seen one before somewhere, possibly on here!

I bought it of G+M and Graham said he'd only ever seen four in all his time in the hobby. Were you at spalding Paul didn't see you

Cheers zac although it's a bit crude it appealed to me because it was britains based and being built by the apprentices it has a bit of history. Yours looks like a martyns farm models one possibly.  I built one a good few years back based on a britains

Very nice. Mine isn't one of Martyns I spoke to him about it, I'd like to find a proper front hub for it like yours and a nose weight to finish it off then some decals. One day project

I knew Martyn had made some out of UH 5000 so thought it was one he'd done, someone else has had a go then. Like you say proper weight, front hubs and decals would finish it off but it looks a decent enough job though. I may have some spare decals if you want some but i'd have to check my spares box
