The Bauer Mercedes...... outstanding details....
Some are worth to mention under closer examination:
The front grille is a sheet metal job composed of the chrome radiator shell, finely etched screen and even the crank hole cover as a magnetized separate part.
The all coil suspension is fully functional and all four wheels can be removed. The hubcaps are a multiple assembly of cast and milled parts (the star in the middle is even a separate part).
The clamps on the exhaust pipe line are individual pieces with scaled bolts and nuts.
The rubber bumper guards are secured with all scaled nuts at the back.
Some more observations to come as I discover the "secrets" of what is indeed an outstanding model.
