Excellent review - despite the scale, that's some exquisite detailing!

What an exquisite piece!  A Mercedes front end with a Rolls rear!  😉

That is a fantastic model with amazing detail. It is worth the price.

On a side note, I wish Brooklin made one of these Mercedes from the 1930’s. I have the perfect airplane model to pair it with for a Brooklin in Illinois photo.

Another EMC M-B with British heritage. This 540K was ordered by a UK doctor, who wisely didn't get it out during WW2. Eventually it was converted to LHD, and still later passed into Bernie Ecclestone's hands. Note the UK plates.

Brooklin is not able to produce this level of quality. They are still using water transfers for badges when they could at least use foil as others do.

The only company that competes here for this quality is Matrix. I have this one and it blows me away.
