Today's post was originally issued by Brooklin Models, later modified by John White. The model had the top changed to white instead of black, a wider set of whitewall tires and with added detailing. While the differences are fairly simple it gives the model a new attitude.

John White was a very talented detailer.

I am nuts about the red and black Brooklin original 2-tone but this is very nice as well.

Well here is the red/black one Jack and I prefer that one too.
