They all look beautiful! Was one better than the other to build or did they both have strengths/weaknesses that pretty much equaled out?

Thanks for comments
Jo-han 500K was nice
but Heller 500K was tough kit...
Body parts are separated in pieces. Fitting is horrible.

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.

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.

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.
