This 1:8th (not 1:18th scale) model is very carefully made and even most important parts of the original are true to the original. The engine crank works and the wheels turn. Also the rack and pinion steering is very well made and works too. I am impressed with the details and how much they match the Mercedes model in out museum on Jeju Island. It is delicate because the lines and bearings and spokes are to scale. This means that one must be careful in handling. I highly recommend this particular model is you wish to understand the features of the original car without spending fifty thousand dollars for the Replica from the Mercedes factory. I recommend that when one purchases this model order one that has the original styrofoam packing. It holders the 1:8 size model very well and protects it from being damaged during transit. Without this packing there is a good chance that the sample would be damaged. Other models I have received have had the wheels brake off, the lights damaged and sometimes when I have opened the box, it is just a pile of parts. I have found that epoxy cement is the best way to repair the model. It is strong and when using quick set epoxy, you can hole the parts in the correct position until the cement hardens. Again, this is an excellent model. It arrived with no damage and I am pleased with the extent of the functions. The 1:8 size is necessary to display all the features of the original and one does not need to remove any parts to see all the functions. I highly recommend this particular sample as one of the best to be purchased.Read full review

Very well made model of the first production car. The 1/8 scale is perfect for seeing the operation of this historic car.
