PICs - From My Brooklin Collection: 1954 Kaiser
What can I say about this little Brooklin gem. I love the color, although I have never seen one in this color-it looks like the photos I have seen. This is the first Kaiser Darrin I have added to my collection (I do have a white 1:24 on pre-order) A very cute little model.

Good shots of a beautiful car! I have it in BRK red but also these. (pic)

Mikansue is an English white metal firm, and both of these were made from older kits, back when there was some "fit to finish" procedures. No, the doors are not operable; I don't think that would be easily possible in the world of 1:43. While these are not as finely detailed and finished as the Brooklin KF, I like them. Enjoy!

They look good David, These old and different models always fascinate me.

Thanks, John. But Brooklin remains the standard by which
I evaluate my other 1:43 models.
