Folks, if you're not using Christian Braun's hobbyDB as a resource, you should probably check it out. Karl Schnelle, Tom Kinney, Harve Goranson, John Merritt, and several others have been online contributors, as have I. They are crowdfunded, and I have bought a few shares, as have some others you are familiar with. They're a great asset to 1/43 and are quickly becoming the go-to for information and pics for our scale. Their marketplace is also growing and easy to use. 

If you're interested in owning a share, you can go to this link (https://wefunder.com/hobbydb&source=gmail&ust=1682632972117000&usg=AOvVaw0LwJB-BryxjLLHdAlpVqL h"> https://wefunder.com/hobbydb ). No pressure here, just an opportunity to share. I don't get anything from this other than hoping you see it as another way to get more enjoyment out of the hobby. Christian is a good guy and a friend of the hobby. He started out by collecting diecast models with his brother! He's one of us.

I can't believe its been 8 years since I started donating my time and talents to building up the 1/43 items in hobbyDB!  Several others besides the ones mentioned by John have donated photos that I have uploaded -Jerry Rettig, Yannick Backer, Albert Kopans, David Green, David Holcombe, to name a few.

I guess I am addicted to Forum43 and to HobbyDB now!

@jack-daniels, in the search box in the upper left of the screen, enter the mfr ("Brooklin" "Goldvarg" etc. ) to see all they made. You can add the year ("1968 Mustang")and model to be more precise.

It's a great resource and one I should definitely go to more often, as it has a wealth of information contributed by a lot of people. The database is huge and growing all the time.
