1929 Mercedes-Benz SSK

This is a bit of an oddball. This one is a release from the british company Frog, from around 1970. They inherited the model from the japanese company Sankyo, which in turn did a ripoff of the Lindberg kit. Of course, Sankyo changed the chassis into something very simple and unrealistic, and made the model into a motorized curbside, and then Frog did remove the motor....

So if you open the hood it's all empty except for a strange looking firewall that obviously is made to house a battery box.

But for a very simple kit, I'm quite satisfied myself with the outcome.

Considering what you started with I think you did a very fine job.

I like the color scheme, nice job on a less than stellar kit.

Very nice.
