BBurago 1:18 Mercedes Benz 500K


The Mercedes-Benz 500K was produced from 1934 through 1935 and of the 354 vehicles produced, only 229 were the cabriolets. Today, only eleven 500K Cabriolets are known to exist.

It has a top speed of about 100 mph and is powered by a 160 horsepower, inline 8 cylinder, supercharged engine coupled to a 4-speed manual transmission. The 5,130 pound vehicle rides on a four-wheel independent coil-spring suspension and is stopped via hydraulic power brakes.

This was one of my first 1:18 diecast models that dated around 1994, its by BBurago and the details are exceptional for its time. Took some pictures after cleaning the car. Here are some pictures I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did.

All New Tomica Subaru Impreza WRX STI Custom

It was inevitable, like what i did with the Tomy Honda Civic and the Mitsubishi Evo X, this subaru went under the knife, well just a wheel swap and detailed rear lights. And like the Civic and the Evo that came out in the Limited version, I'm gonna pass already if they made this to a limited version.

done in an hour, with paint drying time on the wheels of course.
