Yes, of course... I forgot about this. Twice, I purchased replicas, completely forgetting that I already owned them. I'm doing my very best to ensure there will NOT be a 3rd time!
This can happen much easier when you buy a model then tuck it away....out of sight, out of mind. This is why I now have 3 of the Brooklin CTCS 1951 Ford taxis....not my finest moment. Lol.
I can say, to make matters worse for myself. Only once have I bought a model a 2nd time forgetting about the 1st one. All my other instances have been intentional. Now is that just crazy?
I don't do this often at all, and sometimes by accident when I forget to check my spreadsheet. But sometimes a bargain is too tempting, as in the late 1960s when I bought six of the same thing (only 3 remain).

I do not have any exact duplicate models. However, I have two Brooklin Impala convertibles in different colors ( pink and artesian turquoise) and in 1/64 scale several sets of cars of same brand, model, and year, but different colors. I also have four 1/72 scale P-51B Mustang models, each in a different color scheme.

One car is pink and the other is turquoise. The pink one is from the Brooklin pink collection. It has a Pearl type finish and looks very good. The artesian turquoise one is from Second City Motors. I would not want a car that is pink AND turquoise. In a related topic, last January when I was in Cuba, I saw several pink cars and several green/turquoise cars from the 1950s. Though you would see two-tone cars in Cuba, I never saw one that was pink AND green/turquoise, and I was looking for that combination.
What about duplication of year but different trim levels ? The duplicates that I have are all intentional. I justify these purchases by convincing myself that they are different enough to warrant purchase. For example, I have a 1959 Desoto Adventurer and 1959 Desoto Fireflite. I also have a 1959 Dodge Royal Lancer and on Friday pre-ordered another 1959 Dodge Royal Lancer Spring Edition from Buz. Slight difference in trim.
I don’t consider those duplicates. Along with that, I consider convertibles top-up and top-down as separate models. If those are considered duplicates, then I’m in serious trouble.
i pre-ordered the Dodge as well, looks very sharp.

Thanks Ed. I think we can all then gather that the application of pink and turquoise/green 2-tone to any car is just not natural; in fact a brutal optical assault capable of causing permanent damage. I will notify the Countryside, IL. Sherriff to be on the lookout this month.
