Sambrons are like buses

You don't see any for ages and then two come along at once



Both found at different car boot sales five miles apart, happened a few years ago but proves they are out there....

Nice catch, but please don't make a habit of doing this, leave some for other collectors...

Thanks Ghosty,

Kept both on account of the shade differences, packed away in a crate like most of my finds sadly

I noticed that...one is a pale Yellow, the other more of a rich Yellow, suggesting a large production run requiring at least Two supplies of paint or possibly one has a much thinner coating allowing the undercoat to influence the top coat.

It would be nice to see some of you favourite models from your collection, so when you get a chance to 'Crack Open' that crate, we'll be watching...

Turns out that the Sambron HQ was not a million miles away from the car boot sales in question....happened about four years ago and I've not seen another since (but check the sides of every one I see)

One is more of a Lemon colour, guess they just printed a random selection from the first few runs through the factory?

When I say crate I sort of mean about fifteen crates, ha ha! Will have a look through and get some photos soon, some oddball items from most of the major manufacturers in there, lot of run of the mill stuff too but all stuff I love!

Very nice SFkid, i have tried to add one of these to my collection but have been outbid every time i see one. To find two at the same time is unbelievably good luck!! Nice one mate.

It is often surprising what 'Gems' can be found among assumed 'Common' stuff, especially if good clear pictures are used and forum members spot something that needs to be singled-out or something needs to be looked at in more detail and we also like seeing other companies models products here, so don't hold anything back.
