Britains' zebra repaint

Hi
I had an old Britains' zebra with almost all pain scrubbed off so i decided to "repaint" it. It look's a little rough up close but from a normal viewing distance I'm quite pleased with the result.

Amazing repaint !!!
And I suppose it is very little ?

Now we can see what a neat model it really is

Yes it is 1:32 scale i think.

Here it is with the Schleich 14391 Zebra

Beautiful repaint! Congratulations

Very very nice little zebra. Bravo Donhill :)

I think no other collection could look more realistic than these Britains repainted as you did! Perfect scale and very good sculpts! Wonderful work!
Which Britains zebra is that one? It is quite different from mine?

That's incredible! Gorgeous work! I wouldn't mind having him on my shelf!

Thanks for the kind words

Roger: I don't know exactly, I think it has the same # as the other zebra (1357), but maybe an earlier version?

You saved this nice Zebra!! Very nicely done!
Are you sure it is a Britains? In earlier years I've had quite some Britains just more the farm life stuff. Not sure about the wildlife creatures.

Shanti: well it says Britains on it and it looks similar to the zebra in the picture below, but I guess you can never be 100% it's not a copy.

It is surely a Britains zebra, I am not only identifying it. Somewhat different from lead version and completely different from mine. Though, it is marked Britains and it is surely this one you are showing in that catalogue picture. Do you know the year of the catalogue? 60's?
My version is more recent as you can see below, I have it in two colors so I thought I had two plastic versions, though now I see that I have two variations of 2nd version also known as Detail. One more Britains missing in my collection!

Good job. is that your case of animals?


Britain's animals are all lovely models

Thanks. No unfortunately it isn't mine, it's from a closed ebay-auction I found through a link elsewhere on this forum.

Awesome work!

Well done on this zebra. I think it looks great close-up. I'm especially excited to see this zebra, because I have a small childhood herd of copies (two in red) I had set aside to repaint. It's encouraging to see the good results you had with this one.

Congratulation This custom is absolutely stunning

This is indeed a Britains 1357 zebra. It was the first version in plastic and was the direct son of the old Lead zebra.

Great job!

Nice!
