Re: Heller 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 500K
They all look beautiful! Was one better than the other to build or did they both have strengths/weaknesses that pretty much equaled out?

Re: Heller 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 500K
Thanks for comments
Jo-han 500K was nice but Heller 500K was tough kit... Body parts are separated in pieces. Fitting is horrible. |

Re: Heller 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 500K
Beautiful work. The red one looks just like the one I saw at the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart last summer.

Re: Heller 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 500K
Absolutely stunning models Baracca! Superb looking Mercedes, one of the nicest prewar beauty! You've done a fantastic job on these kits! Congratulation!
 Do you have some work in progress photos? I think, all of us would be happy if you could share some "secrets",of the way you built these beauties. |

Re: Heller 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 500K
I think the Mercedes-Benz 500K is the most beautiful car of all time. And your models are the most detailed I've seen in this scale.

Re: Heller 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 500K
Hi I’m starting on the same 2 model kits too. Yes the heller kit is a nightmare. May I ask how did you get your hands on the extra Jo Han wheels? Did you have to buy a couple of kits for the heller model? My vinyl tires are all unusable with many sprue indentations.
