This is a superb little kit from SMA. The kit come carefully packed in
a clear blister pack. Mine made the trip from the UK with absolutely no
damage. The vehicle body is molded in a single piece of resin. The molding is excellent. There is a very small molding plug that needs a little clean up on the bottom of the chassis. This is far better than most resin kits I've built. The fenders are very delicately molded so some caution will be required when handling the kit during construction. The Mercedes symbol on the grill is exceptionally well done. The remainder of the parts, to include suspension, wheels and interior details are white metal and are also finely detailed. The kit comes with an exploded assembly diagram. No decals or painting instructions are provided, but SMA do have a German decal set in their extensive range. Painting should not be a problem as German vehicle paint schemes aren't exactly a mystery. Look for a detailed build review of this conversion set in the near future.

Thanks to Scale Model Accessories for the review sample. |
