Mercedes 500 SL (R129) 1989 Maisto 1:18
The Maisto Mercedes 500 SL (R129) is a diecast metal model. The Proportion and Scale Deviation of this model are too big, resulting in a model that looks noticeably "stretched" and oversized for its 1:18 classification. Simplified and strong details like window frames in relief contribute to a model that can be used as a toy.
