Anybody can give me an opinion on this one?

I assume you are talking about the NB Center Hudson. Though I do not own one I did take a close look at it at the Model car show last October in Countryside IL. The model is very nice and the extra details compared to the regular Brooklin do enhance its looks. This is a model I might also consider buying, since I do not have any Hudsons.

I don't have the model either but that would be interested to see the difference regarding the details between the NBCC Hudson Light Green and the BRK 225 in Maroon. The NBCC is at 320usd and the BRK at 169.76usd. Is the price of the NBCC worth the difference? Both models are always available while others leave faster.

@michel-lemieux 

Seeing both models in person, I have also wondered whether the extra price is worth having the extra details. Like I previously said, they do enhance it.

The real question is, which one will be worth more when Brooklin stops making them, or god forbid Brooklin goes out of business?

I'll bet you know the answer.

I sold my original release Lincoln Zephyr and Chrysler Town & Country models to purchase the NB Center editions, because price is not a factor in my model purchases, but having the best model available is.

@ben-lampson Indeed but unfortunately, price start to be a factor for me with the extra cost that i have to pay for the Canadian custom charges. I must to think about it two times before. I look forward for the NBCC 1946 Pontiac and i try to focus only on that one. I try 😉. I imagine that one just aside my MCUSA 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline with my others 1941 Pontiac. For me the Lincoln and the Chrysler T & C are a good decision that you have taken 👍

I have all three. Even with the enhancements on the NBCC version, I like the color on the maroon one better. As far as the two green versions, to make each a little different. I put black walls on the original (despite the fact the actual NB Center 1:1 has them) and kept the NBCC version as it was made with the whitewalls.

This is one my favorite Brooklin models (I do have a lot of favorites, however) and having all of them just makes them even better.

@jkuvakas I assume the only option is to buy from England as I did for the Lincoln. The museum doesn't have inventory, right?

There is some inventory in Allentown. But purchases have to be made through Broolin's website. Allentown is not set up to sell. I suggest you email Brooklin to see if your model will come from Bath or Allentown.

@jkuvakas I even got the last BML1941 Pontiac Streamliner Torpedo Sedan Black ordered on the Brooklin's site from Rome and the Interior of the Pontiac have been damaged during the long way. I wrote to Amanda without know that it would be the last time that she serve me. She sent me all the interior parts for free. I asked her if it was a good idea to ask if the models will leaves from U.K., Allentown or Rome and his answer goes in this sence. I read on French sites that the postal service with FEDEX in Europe was not the best during the pandemic?  I got a better service with USPS, Royal mail and DHL. So next time i will asked from where the models will left and with what company before than i order. Maybe just a coincidence with Fedex but it is a weird coincidence.
