G'day ,all I have been given this Model Kit by a friend , who went to a clearing sale some years back and bought quite a few of these kits.
By the price tag they sold dearly
I would like a bit of back ground of the model maker and are they still avaible in the UK

G'day Brian, thanks for that , I dont know whether to make it up or keep it a a kit in my collection.
John has made up a ERF and low loader with loco wheels as a load but hasnt painted it and it looks great.
He must have about 30 kits.

G'day Brian, finally got to look at google and yes they are still going but have you seen the prices , their beautiful kits but some are up to 1,200 quid , dont think the Minister for Everything would let me go that far.

I have a Smiths kit unbuilt of a 50 scale Mk 1 Atkinson Borderer (1969) the one with the low headboard.
I also bought wheels and running gear to make a 40ft flat trailer to go with it but have never got round to building it as the old eyes went a bit fuzzy.
I also part built a white metal Trunker Series 32 scale Atkinson tractor unit (Similar to Suttons) of about 1965 but gave up when it came to putting the windows in.
Tempted to put them on ebay but can't bear to part. |
