Re: New in my collection !
I bought this lot at the bus collectors market at IWM Duxford last sunday. The orange tractor isnt mint and cost £9. Less stalls than last time but still plenty of playworn vintage stuff in the £1-2 price range

Interesting finds as always! Just found an orange tractor myself. Yours looks nicer.

From the pic It almost looks like a completely different hue, and not a shade difference. What do you think?

Re: New in my collection !
Think thats called the metallic blue in Nicks listing as apposed to the dark metallic blue. I prefer the model in the lighter blue looks great on display.

I am finally glad to have one even this beater ! As far as I can tell this shade variation is most likely to appear in the UK rather than USA or Germanynearlymint wrote:Think thats called the metallic blue in Nicks listing as apposed to the dark metallic blue.
