This is one of those models that is just about perfect (at least in my eyes) the color is just right for the style, and it has a great stance and overall excellent presentation.

Beautiful model - perfect color combo. I wish FM made one of their Boattails in this color.

John, your picture and the setting are terrific. I agree the model is just about perfect in every way. I have it in black with a red interior and wheels.

Yet another gorgeous example of rolling art from the most stylish automobile era.

Agree, I am thinking of repainting one in 1/24.

It is hard to find any MiniMarque 43 that I would not like in my collection. Beautiful model!

@david-green Except for the epoxy-filled headlights that yellow over time. You can see this on Top Marques, GADM, and several others. Brooklin may have been wise to just plate their headlights for many years.
