hi,

i am looking for a model kit of a mercedes 500/560sec. it must be plastic, dimensionally accurate and as large scale as possible. it would help greatly if i could find one that replicates the 500sec race car, but otherwise standard [i.e. non AMG body kit].

i am looking to create a 'what if' group 5 appearance or silhouette racer. hence needing it to be plastic so i can cut and shut where needed. this is part of a long term pipe dream to actually build one!

any help appreciated. i can only find the revell kit on google but seems to be sold out.

Tamiya did a 1:24 scale version.

I'm also kind of looking for one because I need the engine cylinder heads to correct the Tamiya Sauber Mercedes I've got in the stash.

Edit - just realised you knew about the Revell one but this appears to be for sale

Is this one any good?

It might be a little on the pricey side, but you simply cannot argue with the scale...

Have you seen it? Was planning on calling the seller tomorrow. Apparently they are absolutely ruinous to run out here.

Cheers for the link xb70.Ive also found a tamiya kit and a lorinser version on ebay.
