I will give the disclaimer that I am a newbie, so if this method is destructive please let me know. When cleaning on a larger scale, some having dirt and grime from the sand box and such, I use a steamer with distilled water. It does a great job of getting the interior, which can be a bugger. As alw...

An individual hell bent on faking something can not be stopped in my opinion. However in this case, I agree with what you mentioned, that the alignment plays in the favor of this particular model. I was hesitant when I purchased this model, but took the risk and under much closer inspection truly ap...

I agree. Also if pre-pro I would assume that the exhaust brackets would be missing? Is that a reasonable assumption?

I can resize them (plus some minor editing), but will take a very long time. I understand y...

Thank you for the warm welcome. I just posted a lengthy post under the lesney regular 1-75 pertaining to 9 52b BRM Racers I have and none match any known configuration, so we will see where that leads. I have been acquiring many lots for over a year and am finally beginning to go through them all. T...

Greetings All, I just recently acquired a BRM with three "52" decals. I am still collecting a bit more information on its origin, but so far it came from a garage sale out of Tampa Bay, Florida in the USA, That would explain the light corrosion on the base, since it is by the sea and very ...
