Volksfan Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I've been searching for a model kit of any scale of the 1886 Benz motorwagen. This car is legendary. It's the first patented automobile ever. I know there is a kit of the 1886 Daimler (the 4 wheeled one by minicraft) But I cant find a kit of this car. I can only find diecast models of it. Does anybody know where i can find one?

chmn22s Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 actually I found this site (and your topic) on a search for this vehicle in any scale. I see only 1/18 models diecast and plastic kits of the 4 wheel carriage. I think you'd have to fabricate the parts yourself, and if you made a small run of each part needed, you could be THE Source of them. actually it is the same with a full-size reproduction. only some 1-offs exist but plenty of demand! my plan and advice would be to study as many photos as you can find, and read Benz' patent application #37435 for specs. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
