I queried the BCC why some boxes had the red numbering (with a sticker on the model's base to match) and some did not.

DSCN5051

John Scrivens replied that the first 33 were sequentially numbered, reflecting 33 years of the BCC. BTW, I like the color now that it is in hand. Lighting really does make a difference, the model looking more red in some lights and more coppery in others.

Harv;

 

Mine arrived yesterday and you are quite right about this particular color being very changeable with the lighting present.  I really like the model.

I received mine the other day and I was pleasantly surprised that the color was better that I thought it might be in some of the photos I had seen. Good job Brooklin! Yes the lighting certainly makes a difference with this color.

@parisi50 It seems to glow in a cabinet in my mancave.

@mg-harv As it is glowing it must be very happy to be with you knowing you are a very selective collector.
