Nice pic.  This car needs to be done in 1:43 by Brooklin.

This is a great Franklin Mint with opening doors - even with large gaps, this feature makes it really worthwhile!

I've had one of these for years as a place holder just waiting for one to be done by Brooklin or Goldvarg. I like it except the shut lines, just to big. In this scale nothing should open because it's impossible to get the shut lines to scale. If things are left open, then OK.

@parisi50 I've had this model for years and really like it but never realized the tailgate opens!
