PICS.Another Mick Cooling rework.

Isn't it strange what abnormal situations like Lockdown inspire you to do like dig out models you've not seen for a while. Here's another of Mick's reworks; Brooklin Ford Fairlane which I asked Mick if he would replicate the colour scheme as shown on the box lid of the simiIar 1/32nd scaIe pIastic ReveII kit.

I like it! And I appreciate the detailing involved. But here's what it reminds me of: (pic)

North Carolina uses black and orange, not yellow. How many kids will a Ford Fairlane hold?

Nice detail work, not a color combo I’d of picked.

As I said above, the coIours were chosen for no other reason than to remind me of an earIier time in the 1950s when ReveI bought out those then, groundbreaking kits with "chromed" parts, but strangely enough, no windows. Its for the same reason I Iove the recently issued Brooklin Buick Century. These were the first two ReveI kits I buiIt. Ah! the memories.
