I love this old catalog - it reminds me of my old Dinky Toys catalogs from long ago....
all pages: https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/catalog_items/brooklin-models-catalogue-1994

I still have a couple of copies of this one. It is small enough to sit on my shelf accompanied by Dinky, Corgi, Solido and Brumm catalogues. Later Brooklin catalogues were generally larger size pages. Thanks Karl. I appreciate your efforts in documenting the past like this.

Diecast.org scales the photos the same even though the older one is 1/2 the size!

.....1/43 has progressed and evolved nicely, wouldn't you agree? The bar is much higher today. 😉 😉

@chris I think that the best time for 1/43 scale waa being during 1990s- mid 2000s. In that time diecast and white metal manufacturers were very active. Brooklin was capable to release 6- 7 almost new castings per a year. Things changed in 2010s when resin from China came. These models look nice but they don't have a soul.

All I know is that the “stool” is getting higher to climb up onto also so I’ll be on the patio 😂
