Has anyone in the UK seen any signs of 'new' William Britains?
Clash of Empire - from 16039 number onward
War of the Nile - from 27078 number onward
I have to admit I have virtually stopped collection Britains, as they are very slow in delivering, before anyone highlights the office/factory moving, this has been something that has been happening for years, it was 2015 when there was an announcement over the new 88mm gun and according to the website it will be Winter 2017 when it is released? I overheard someone say at the Dec 16 London show "they did not know what was quicker, Britains deliveries or evolution?". There are also many others out there who produce as good or better quality for around the same price, T Gunn for example and John Jenkins. I used to like the Zulu, but they have turned into a "same old same old", for the last 2 to 3 years there has been nothing which adds value to my collection.................
But on the off chance I would like a few of the above ranges to add too the only 2 ranges of Britains I now collect. There has been little out in these ranges for a while and I mix them in with John Jenkins, which fit together very well.
Sorry this turned into a bit of a rant, but Britains used to be, in the UK, the standard for any collector.
