Mercedes 500 K (W29) 1936 Bburago 1:20
The Bburago Mercedes 500 K (W29) is a diecast metal model. While it captures the classic silhouette, it exhibits a notable scale deviation, measuring slightly smaller than it should be for 1:18 scale. With a Length Deviation of -13% the model appears visibly shorter than the original car. Simplified and strong details like window frames in relief contribute to a model that can be used as a toy.
