Re: Recent finds
A few more - just a couple of gap fillers but in good condition and a Unimog with the axle posts front and back

Re: Recent finds
You have been busy (and lucky!) in finding those hard to find variations and apart from the corroded snow plough, all in great displayable condition, thanks for bringing them to the forum.

Re: Recent finds
A few recent ones
1 Bedford major pack - restored to GPW - normally I never buy restored but I think this is a lot better than what I could ever do!
2 Austin Cambridge - error model with front GPW and rear SPW and light green windows
3 Budgie AA land Rover - I think this is the earlier version as it has black metal hubs with crimped axle ends - rear upper door is missing but can be a harder model to find
Happy Collecting

1 Lincoln Continental
2 Land Rover Fire Engine
3 Mercedes Truck with zig zag base and long tow guides
4 Dodge Crane Truck with painted rivet/inside of crane and thinner wheels
5 Mercedes Truck with thin step and no rear mudguard braces

Re: Recent finds
Very nice models and for me the mint green Lincoln is the star of the haul, fabulous.

Re: Recent finds
Yes some stunning models, I am getting hooked on these minty ones. Its a very slippery slope and expensive.

Hi Sebastian you do have some lovely models and the Lincoln looks great.
Kindest Regards

Re: Recent finds
The early casting Mercedes truck without the brace is a brilliant find - especially in that condition. I don't know whether the zigzag base is really rare or just overlooked. I have two, with the short and long tow guide (not nearly as nice as yours, though). I think the Dodge crane with thin wheels is hard to find too.

Re: Recent finds
A belated thanks for the comments and observations - I have another batch of good condition models to post - hopefully sometime next week
In the meantime I have broken my own guidelines and got another beaters/spares/repairs job lot
They are all in pretty awful condition but can you guess the model of interest from the photo?
