Thank you Mathias for adding your models to this thread, my input was only to save this valuable material from our old forum, but appreciate the ongoing input from members such as yourself, thank's to all members who have continued to post images onto the 'Superfast Casting show' threads.

...what an interesting pair of Mercedes models with the two sizes of wheels you have shown, never noticed you could still find different wheel widths on such late models, thought that only happened with the changeover period models, when narrow wheels were being replaced by wider wheels during the early 1970's.

Hi Alex, nice Threesome you have manged to capture for your collection. I don't have an example of this model so maybe you can enlighten me on the roof fixture.
Are yours trying to come away from the top of the screen because of their 'Colour Trial' status, or is it normal for this component to do this.
