Re: Help, have I done the right thing, new UK Collector

Haha, I can only imagine the looks! Looks like the Super Atlantic 16b GPW is going on eBay, fingers crossed it’s going to go to a good home. Any advice? Should I put it in the market place here or just let the eBay market decide? I’ve read the eBay thread and that’s really informative and have learn...

Re: Help, have I done the right thing, new UK Collector

Good day everyone, I hope you are all keeping safe and well, I have attached photos of the 49a. With regards crimpled axis, they all have them less the black wheel versions (x2). I will show my naivety here and have to ask what's the best way to identify if the rollers/wheels are plastic, I don't wa...

Re: Help, have I done the right thing, new UK Collector

Hi again, apologies for the raft of posts but everyday is a school day as they say. I have been doing a little research around the box information page (which is excellent) that Bert kindly provided. I noted on the 49 D box variants that it makes mention of the Army Half Track Mark III being present...

Re: Help, have I done the right thing, new UK Collector

Hi again Bert,

Just been through the 20a and they all have the brace, albeit some have residue remaining around it from the process still apparent. I thought I would add some photos of a few to show how crisp the paint looks on them. I hope you guys and girls like them

Re: Help, have I done the right thing, new UK Collector

The 73 Refuellers are not great and neither are their boxes, but hopefully I have captured what you require. The 6c appear to be the same model however, the E is miss...

Re: Help, have I done the right thing, new UK Collector

Good evening all, it appears i'm becoming addicted to knowledge. The 6c variation thread is incredibly comprehensive (I am a little lost if I'm honest, need to read it a few more time I think). As far as I know, they came from a deceased estate so it could be old shop stock that the family found but...

Thank you Idris, that's excellent, thank you ever so much for your readily accepted and noted advice and guidance. I hope that the pictures show it well. I am always happy to take photos of others if anyone has any particular things they would like to see. Cant believe I didn't spot this forum previ...
