I am finally going to order TFM 73 M-B 350-SL, My question is
Which one should I buy, I like the euro color combo beter, but I'd rather get the American version. Besides the headlights, are there any other diferences between the two? And, also, Is the grill (blackwash) corrected on both versions? Thanks in advance for the opinions.

Doug any version you buy will GREATLY please you .......
TFM's Mercedes 450 is truely a MUST HAVE and is one of their most feature rich models of all time. It has the usual opening doors, hood and trunk, steerable wheels (big deal LOL), working suspension, a rotating driveshaft, slide up side windows (not crank up, but lets not be too greedy), folding seatbacks, the rear "boot" is hinged and flips up to reveal what appears to be the roof in the down position, there is a P-E'd key fob in the ignition that flops around when you move the model, OH opening fuel door and I believe glove box, hum.......GREAT and realistic looking "top up" roof, pumbed and wired engine, the antenna slides up and down, and perhaps afew things I overlooked, but I think thats WAY more then anyone could ask for in a 1:24th. I own the American blue/tan version and love it. The met paint is very rich (needed a little polishing) and shows off the tan interior very well. Oh I forgot, it comes with a superb accessory kit complete with golf bag, "T"s , tennis racket, a can with three little tennis balls that actually come out of the can!, a little gym bag, and perhaps several other goodies. I did this ALL from memory as mine is in storage and is awaiting a new display case to be made if I ever get around to it! LOL Buy any version, you'll love it! ; )
