Mike,

I like your model, but I'm not an expert on the codes for this one. Perhaps Nick can help? I have only one of these blue BRMs, and it is different to yours. Clearly I need to get some more of them.

Cheers,
Gavin

Hi Mike.
I am in Scotland visiting the family, I should be home on sunday. There have been several missing variations from the 52b list. I need to update the page.

I think the problem Mike is in Nick's codes on this model. Your model without the exhaust brackets is very hard to find, but only should come with the early decal guides just like yours. Yours looks VERY Nice.
After a study of your picture and my Stannard guide, Nick may have the 'With Guides' and the 'Without Guides' reversed in his 52B tables. Yours is a Stannard Code one with it's decal guides and no exhaust brackets. I have 6 different variations with decals, and they all have the decal guides. Stannard only has 4 variations without decal guides, and they all have the later labels on them. Some labeled Racers were produced for a time with the early raised round decal guides on their bodies, but later the body dies had the raised circles removed because Lesney found they made the labels harder to install. kwakers

Hello Mike and Nico, in reply to your pm to me my codes by Stannard book are codes 3-9-15, all though he does not list the Ultramarine one (Dk. Blue).

All my models are listed as codes in the Mike Stannard book, as I was codeing them before Nicks forum was started.

By Nicks list my one code 4 Blue, code 17 Red, But he lists the dark Blue Code 13 as having 4 ribs, but my one is unlisted as it has only got Three ribs. Also the Red colour is very flat and not very shiny.
