BRK 15 1949 Mercury Coupe — одна из самых красивых моделей от Brooklin. Мне удалось приобрести отреставрированную версию, оснащенную фарами с полимерными линзами, хромированными боковыми и рамочными молдингами. Цвет также изменен. После таких улучшений BRK 15 выглядит очень реалистично, и я думаю, что эта модель намного лучше, чем версия Zaugg/Skyline.
Beautiful ! The Mercury was a great-looking automobile at that time and this color fits this stylish car really well. I have Mercurys from this era in both 1/43 (Universal) and 1/18 (Ertl). It is no wonder these cars looked great as-is and were also favorites of customizers.
Here's what Fred said, it's been translated:
"One of the most beautiful models from Brooklin. I managed to acquire a restored version, equipped with headlights with polymer lenses, chrome side and frame moldings. The color has also been changed. After such improvements, the BRK 15 looks very realistic, and I think this model is much better than the Zaugg/Skyline version."
@chris I Agree with Fred. My late friend Robert Rogers used to scrape my Brooklin Models for me and make them real gems. Unfortunately he didn't get to this one before he could no longer do this work.
Nice model. This is one of those models I wish Brooklin would re-issue with today’s level of detail.
