1:64 Mercedes-Maybach S680 Black 2022

The real subject

The Mercedes-Maybach S680 is the highest step of the luxury S line. The rear part of the car is conceived as a separate compartment for passengers, which the lengthened wheelbase and the shape of the side windows correspond to; the front and the rear end differ from the ordinary version in a grille of their own and in details arranged differently. Under the hood works a 6-liter V12 engine with a pair of turbochargers, an arrangement that is exceptional nowadays and is gradually disappearing from passenger cars.

The workmanship of the model

The car is captured in black paint and in the form of the 2022 model year. The 1:64 scale is the most widespread collector's format of small metal and plastic cars: a limousine roughly five and a half meters long comes out of it at eight and a half centimeters, so a whole row of cars fits side by side into one display case and the scale holds together with buildings and figures of the same size.

Tips on displaying and care

Stand the model so that direct sun does not shine on it, otherwise the colors will fade over the years. Remove dust with a soft brush, not by wiping it dry. If you stand models on top of each other in layers, watch out for the rearview mirrors and the wipers, which tend to be the first parts to break off.

Who it is for

A sedan in this format is collected both by enthusiasts for modern cars and by builders of small city scenes, where it suits being a limousine parked at the entrance to a hotel.

The model is finished and is not assembled; paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
