Which crocodile is this?

Is this the "Young Crocodile"? Seeing thebritfarmer's post with the Nile Crocodile, I realized mine is not that one!

Yes I would say that is the young Crocodile.

Thank you! He is the only Britains I have or have ever seen in person.

Here is the plastic version of it Jill

Oh very cool, thank you! I am pretty clueless about this excellent brand in general.

That is a gorgeous model you have there, Jill

It looks like the young croc to me too. Would you be happy for me to put it on TAW?

Britains is not exactly your collecting style since you tend to collect animal figures of aproximately the same size regardless of the real size of the animal. Britains is exactly the opposite and they have elephants as large as major brand elephants and a wild boar as large as a tube figure. Though, it is an exciting collecting subject since all models are at the same scale.

Thank you! He is the only interesting thing my local antique stores have had in a long time.

You certainly can, though I can get a better picture of him with a lego if needed. He's also missing the tip of his tail, so not exactly the prime specimen.

That is quite different from my approach, haha. I do love some of the individual models, though. For me it is kind of like the few Clairet and Starlux that I have. Not very many, just a few examples that are my favorites! And luckily I found one of my favorite animals as the only Britains I have.

Here's a better picture of him, if he is needed:

Thank you very much, it's now on TAW.

Is someone can show us a comparison pic between the two models ?

At least could you tell how big they are ?

I don't have the lead version of the young Crocodile but I do have the plastic version which is the same mould.
