Brooklin Models

The Brooklin Model Company, based in the United Kingdom, is known for producing extremely accurate, 1/43 scale models of automobiles. Each is built by hand with white metal components and is painted to look just like the original. Before each model is created, a brass master version must be hand-developed in a process that takes about 400 hours of skilled craft work. Once the individual parts have been cast, the small parts and body shells are spray painted by hand. Each batch of models typically takes about three weeks to fully assemble. Brooklin models are typically highly detailed, involving many intricate parts. Over a five year production period, the company tends to produce fewer than 3,000 units of a given model. This fact that they are manufactured in limited editions tends to make Brooklin models highly collectible. Brooklin carries several different lines of model automobiles, including the Brooklin Collection, the US Model Mint collection, the Streamliners collection, the Lansdowne Models collection, the International Police Vehicles collection, and the Rob-Eddie Models collection. Among the wide range of individual models manufactured by Brooklin Models include the 1957 Ford Thunderbird, the 1953 Studebaker Commander Starliner, the 1952 Ford Ranger, the 1948 Ford F1 Pick-Up, the 1949 Checker Cab, the 1969 Plymouth GTX, and the 1951 Ford Victoria. Other choices are also available, such as the 1953 Streamlined American Caravan, the 1951 Packard Mayfair, the 1961 Chrysler Imperial, the 1947 Wesley Slumbercoach, the 1958 Edsel Citation, the 1947 Packard Super Clipper, the 1947 Custom Super Eight, the 1956 Ford Mainline, and a great variety of others.
