[Closed] I have just posted my review of the Automodello Bricklin SV-1.

Hmmmm I wonder which one to choose from this selection!

I am glad you did bother Paul as ....

Is an interesting source for finding out about a range of manufacturers and what
they made.

Plus I have now booked marked it.

Thanks

Chris

MMQ is the best, FM is all wrong proportionally, CC is OK.

MiniMarques & Franklin Mints are 1963's while the Collectors Classics is a 1964 (square headlight frames). The MMQ has the WM, Western Models, logo on the baseplate so obviously WM made it for them.

I do have six built Mikansue kits, five Americanas and one Gran Turisme.

I either bought them built or had them built for me. I also have Rod Ward's Rapide Bantam that was based on the Mikansue kit.
John Roberts has a great line about Mikansue models...They are a model you have to pick up...that's so you can look on the bottom to see what they are.
Regardless of their crudeness and often poor representation of the car, our hobby owes a lot for their pioneering and setting the stage for doing offbeat models.

Thanks very much for this summary Dick it will ....

aid in selection.

BTW I have the FM version. Why? Because it was cheap and I like opening panels.

As Dick states it does have issues.

Cheers Chris

Well said Dick and just to add some of their .....

off beat line has yet to be produced by anyone else.

So if a manufacturer is looking for some ideas they could do no worse than pick
a few from Mikansue's itinerary.

Cheers Chris

I have the CC in black, and just took it down to admire it. My FM is packed away. I think that's enough Avantis (Advanties?) for me.
