That's what's so addictive about collecting K&C isn't it, there is just something about their own particular style that makes it so collectible. I've lost count of the times they've released something and I've thought no I'll let that pass and concentrate on something else, and before I know it I'm carrying it home from London!:wink2:

I also always find that however good the item looks online it's even better up close

^&grin^&grin
I know what you mean Rob

I ve been stupid to give praise to this blue and yellow vehicle although it is totally historically inaccurate as somebody had noted before. This color scheme appeared in the battle of Britain only in the Movie! In reality it appeared near the 1950s and it's glossy not Matt

Oberstoskar mate,
Beauty and Historical Accuracy are in the eye of the beholder. Enjoy your TS collecting and stress less.^&grin I am beginning ("Turning over a new leaf") in my approach to my TS collecting and Forum posting.:smile2::smile2:

Just received my RAF fuel bowser in blue and yellow. Upon close inspection (and being super careful when taking it out ) it doesn't disappoint. What a terrific piece. Its something I've really badly wanted for awhile now and given the quality that helps take the sting out of the large pricetag. To date this is now my single most expensive purchase. :redface2: Unfortunately this splurge means putting on hold other purchases but no regrets, its simply worth it. ^&cool

Hey CFM,

Glad you like yours, now I've just heard there is no retirements for me this month I think I may pick mine up in London. Have wanted this since the day it was out but I picked up the recent RAF truck first as I thought that may go quicker than the Bowser, really looking forward to it.

You certainly won't regret getting a fuel bowser. My only dilemma was whether to pick up the Mickey Mouse or the blue and yellow version. Ultimately I opted for the blue and yellow because its so unique and I can always get other Mickey Mouse Allied pieces.

Yes I made the same. Decision CFM. Also the Blue and Yellow version took me right back to my
Airfix making days as a kid, and that version I must have made several times over the years. Maybe at some point in the future I'll pick up the Mickey mouse version too.

I bought the blue and yellow version first, to join my Battle of Britain dio. But then the Typhoon came out and I just couldn`t resist getting the mickey mouse version... Both are great vehicles, among the very best K&C issues and must-haves.

If the BLUE & YELLOW Fuel Truck wasn't used during the Battle of Britain - then what was ??

+1 on being a proud owner of the Mickey-Mouse version. Ollie.

I believe it was typically a dark green or brown at that time. I have the blue and yellow version and love it, although I have seen mention on many sites that the Bedford trucks were not used until 1941. Does anyone have any more information on Bedford dates as well?

The blue and yellow version was not used till the 1950 a correct 1940-43 would be a brown version witch I think K&C are making
