PICS and more PICS. ModeIs in quadrupIicate from that factory in Bath, EngIand.
First up is one that I can't beIieve hasn't been modeIIed in our scaIe since the Corgi 1950s version. Anyway, its here at Iast, after some nudging fom yours truIy. Its the 1954 Ford ConsuI Mk.I in Dorchester Grey. It wiII be avaiIabIe some time next week. MRRP is ?125. Photos are courtesy of our intrepid photographer in Bath, Amanda. Thank you again. This and the other three modeIs are aII test assembIy exampIes, and the Consul has yet to receive its bonnet mascot.

Thank You Mike and Amanda for pics.
The roof on the Bel Air doesn't look white. It looks a creamy yellow. Does suit it though

Yes that's what I thought John. It could be the lighting.

I hope it's the lighting.
It looks like lemon yellow over candy apple red. Pretty gross.

Checked with Brooklin this morning and the correct coIour wouId appear to be Adobe BeIge over SIerra GoId/Copper as per the cataIogue. The white over PearI was the description in BrookIin's earIier NewsIetter.

The re-coIours are aIways limited. The photo colours are probably correct.

I am pretty sure that Brooklin wouldn't give us something 'pretty gross'...they have been doing this for quite some time now.
It is my opinion that most of their models are reaching on-par status with the likes of Motor City and Conquest....they just need a little more fine details and they are there!

As always, wait until the models appear. The camera often lies.

John, That camera must really be lying......
those two colors are the worst I've ever seen on a 1957 Chevrolet.
I hope their wrong.

+1 I agree John; Brooklin will have it correct.
