Mercedes 230/280SL -- W113 "Pagoda" in 1/24 or 1/25?

[Matt Bacon]

...reading this month's Octane. Anyone know of a kit of this iconic Mercedes  in 1/24 or 1/25? There's an Airfix 280SL in 1/32, but it's rare as hen's teeth, and much more expensive!

best,

M.

No kit in 1/24-25. White Box has great diecast for <$40 usd. Quattroruote magazine has same model in their series too, sl easier on your side of pond

This is an Anso 1/18 diecast purchased maybe a dozen years ago for a very reasonable price.Not super high caliber but captures the look

Can't find any immediate reference, but I seem to recollect Revell or Monogram did one in he late 70's?  Seems to me they were curbside and part of a series that included a couple of other cars.  These were different than the Revell series of Ferrari 365 GTB, Ferrari 308, Maserati Bora and Lancia Stratos Rally.

If I recollect correctly, they'd also be pretty scarce

This is the only one I remember. No W113 that I can think of.

Thanks. That was the one I was thinking about.   I wasn't sure of its "generation".  Those kits did not excite me, so I skipped on them.

I have been wanting one of these for a while also - hopefully something the 3D print suppliers will get to.  So far this Leomodels diecast on ebay is about all I've seen in 24th scale.

I have the Leo Models 230 SL and it is very nice.  Includes engine and spare tire in the trunk.  On mine I blackened the white walls and painted the outer rims silver.
