Maisto Plastic 1:18 Scale 1936 M-B 500 K Type Specialroadster Diecast Vehicle , White

I collect these types of models and I got this one as a present. Models are a lot less expensive than the real thing, but you can still enjoy the design, and think about the process the original manufacturers went through to build their beautiful full functional cars, trucks, suv's, etc.. I have other Maisto models as well and they are good quality!

Beautiful workmanship. Worth the money. Great for any collector.

Unreal.All I could think of is, "How could Maisto sell a car so cheap with this much attention to detail?"For $29.95 I wasn't expecting what I got.The detial in the interior this car is amazing, from the lense covered instrument gages on the dash board the stick shifter and pedals on the floor to the chassis beneath.The exterior styling is updated from an earlier version to include running board compartments and a spare tire on each side.This car comes with 8 wheels and all have real spokes.the engine compartment is a work of art with detailed engine components and wiring.The car also has a working suspension and the steering wheel is connected to the wheels.One con is the steering only really works in one direction. It is either a design flaw or a flaw created in packing it.Noticable when examining the car but otherwise undetectable.Even the hidden Rumble seat in the rear is detailed.The color white is perfect for this model, the previous models in red or blue would not have had the same visual effect.Due to the fact that this is not a new tool the reduced costs to produce this car gave Maisto the ability to sell this car at a price that is quite reasonable.It looks like all of the additional accessories were molded from plastic and applied to the original diecast form.Of all the Diecast Cars I have ever seen or owned this is the most visually stunning and my personal favorite.

A beautiful large collectible. Nice detailing. Looks awesome on your desk or decorative table.

a great buy and as described

I would like that the plastic details like the light and the back stuff were metal or a little bit stronger. Ie is beautiful and great fir a dift but this little details are easy to brake. So I would like the industry to change that.

Looks absolutely awesome. Especially love that it has a display base/stand.It sits proudly in my study and I am really glad to have bought it.

I am a car nut. For some reason the Mercedes Benz 540K showed up in several magazines and other formats over the past month. Accordingly, I decided to make the plunge and buy a model of this car. Maisto's prices were not the highest nor the lowest but they do have a good reputation, so I went with them. Boy oh boy, did I pick a winner! This model is superb in every detail. The craftsmanship in it's assembly is above reproach. The materials that is constructed of is top notch. The colors are true, vibrant, and consistent. If you are a serious collector, I would very highly recommend this model. One caveat! This is not a child's toy. It is far too delicate for anything less than a responsible adult to handle.
