Italeri's 1/24 scale Mercedes 600S is a great kit. Moulded in black metallic-finish plastic and a high gloss finish, the kit comprises four sprues of which one is chrome plated. The alloy wheels, headlights, grille and badge are included on this chrome sprue.

As a curbside kit, the bonnet is moulded shut and the underside of the car has the bottom of the engine moulded in place.

The kit offers a single construction option - a glass sunroof. Italeri has simplified this step by moulding a recessed cutting line in the outline of the sunroof. This should allow for perfect fit of the clear sunroof piece.

The decal sheet is great with ten woodgrain inserts, speedometer and the Mercedes nameplate.

I hope that we continue to see more releases to this standard from Italeri.

Thanks to Italeri for the sample.
