M is for Mercedes by Esci

The Mercedes 6-wheeled armoured staff car to be precise! One of my favourite kits, despite the fact that there were only a few ever made (somewhere between 4-6 or 12-14 depending upon who you talk to, or what reference source you consult). This kit was produced for years by Hasegawa, and occasionally they still chuck out a quick batch.

I painted mine as close as possible to the one depicted on the box, however there are clearly - in photographs of the originals - various finishes, including a gloss chocolate-brown version and a reversed scheme with black car and silver mudguards.

The Nazi officials were a bit stiff, so I left them in the box! It should be shiny if you click on the photo's for the enlargement but it's a bit dusty!
