- High-quality 1:87, 1:43, 1:18 and 1:12 scale models
- Beautifully detailed - right down to the movable vario roof
- Exceptional quality thanks to Mercedes-Benz-approved designs
Just in time for Christmas, you can now acquire your very own fleet of miniature SL-Class Roadsters. The four downsized versions of the sought-after originals are available as 1:87, 1:43, 1:18 and 1:12 scale models. Approved by Mercedes-Benz, the designs are characterised by the highest levels of quality and accuracy.
Although the smallest (1:87 scale) 500 SL is only just over five centimetres long, it has a complete set of interior features including a separate steering wheel and individual seats. In the next size up (1:43) the model even has printed "wood" trim elements on the dashboard and visible brake discs on the front and rear wheels. Attention to detail is even greater in the 1:18 scale Roadsters which have opening doors, bonnets and boots, as well as steering front wheels which can be controlled by turning the steering wheel.
"You can't help but be impressed when you see how the model makers have analysed our real roof hinges and faithfully reproduced them on a tiny scale", enthuses Frank Knothe, head of development for the full-size article, as he inspects the 1:18 scale model. The idea for the range of diminutive gifts came from Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH which was established two years ago.
Bigger still, the 1:12 scale 500 SL can not only be manoeuvred precisely by radio remote control, but also converts from a Coupé into an open Roadster in a matter of seconds at the touch of a button.
Officially licensed by Mercedes-Benz, these miniature masterpieces make ideal Christmas gifts. The models are available from authorised Mercedes-Benz dealers.
