1936 Mercedes Benz 500 K Special Roadster White 1/18 Diecast Model Car by Maisto

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!

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.

I use to order the Danbury Mint cars years ago. They were very good quality replicas & averaged around $100 each. The Maisto replicas are also very good quality cars & bigger than the ones I use to get from Danbury Mint. I’m very pleased with this purchase & for $48 thought it a very good buy. Wheels turn. The detail is great. Looks awesome on my TV stand.

This replica is absolutely stunning. The recipient was ecstatic. This is my third time purchasing this item. As a Classic Car Enthusiast this has my sign of approval.

Exelente modelo 1/18

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.

When I opened the box that this masterpiece came in I was overwhelmed by just how beautiful it was. The detailing is perfect and the paint job on this car looks just like if it was a real car. There is nothing left out in the building of the Mercedes 500. The hood opens up just as it should and shows a detail created engine even with the spark pug wires connected. I have a good collection of module cars but this one puts most of the ones I have to shame. If you gets this car people will look at it first thing and it will be a conversation piece that everyone will admire. If you put in your office desk it will show your style and reflect your knowledge of something that you just do not find everyday. It is worth every penny that you pay for it and years of pleasure that you will get for having it.

A great model of an iconic car.
