Top up or top down, these Mercedes-Benz 500Ks are just the epitome of mid-30s German grand touring design.

Terrific photos, Rich. I have the 1/18 Maisto 540 in white, and the lines and curves are intoxicating.

These are outstanding models. I always meant to add more of them, I have one in red. I would love to have a white version. Looks very elegant.

Your photos are as exquisite as the models.

@paul-rouffa Your Maisto is a Bburago re-issue and it's very well done. I believe that one is based on an Indian maharajah's personal car.

@larry-kemling Those fender mounted spare are a nice touch. Nice pics.

Very nice, I have a blue one but it does not have a top, that really sets off the white version.

The one disappointment  with the Maisto Mercedes 540SR is the lack of mounting brackets on the side mounts.
