Info

In the last News, I mentioned that IXO is going to produce the Mercedes 190 (W110) fintail ambulance. The question was of course, if this 1:43 model would look the same as the Binz-bodied one, which Minichamps released at the end of 2009. Well, apparently not. When taking a closer look at the pictures of the prototype, it seems that IXO chose to miniaturize the Miesen-bodied ambulance – the same which can be seen in the 1965 James Bond movie “Thunderball”).
Hotworks/Wits (distr. in Germany by Schuco): This manufacturer is starting a new series of resin models in the 1:43 scale, which will be called: “Absolute Hot”. First in this new range will be the Mercedes-Benz SL AMG “Black Series”. In 1:18 th scale, this company will release the Lorinser, AMG and Brabus versions of the current SL. Each one of these 1:18 models has functioning head- and brake lights, and a working “Vario”-roof. Minichamps… …announced the McLarenMercedes SLR “Stirling Moss” (Z199) in orange, in 1:18 th scale. The model has an opening hood and an opening trunk. In 1:18 th scale as well, Minichamps displayed a L6600 die-cast fire-truck with a 1.56m long die-cast ladder when fully extended, 3.1 Kilo heavy (over 6 pounds) available for the nice price of 799€ (which depending on the day, means anywhere between US$ 1,100 and US$ 1,200 !) This model will be produced in the limited quantity of a little above 2000 pieces. If I can get a picture or two, I’ll publish them in an upcoming News. Norev Few Mercedes-Benz models in the 1:43 scale, but two interesting ones in the 1:18 th scale: the Mercedes- Benz 600 (W140) and the Mercedes 190 c (W110). Both prototypes shown in Nürnberg looked ready for production. The 600 (W140) is scheduled to be released in the second half of this year.
