We’re not sure what all the fuss is behind the Mercedes Pullman MB600 but in scale, it seems to resonate well with collectors from all over the globe. There is now an alternative to the “rare” or “higher-priced” specimens with the introduction of the new 1:18 example from KengFai. Due in late June, early July fans can access three exterior colours of this full 360 access example all in good old diecast metal. Colours include Black, Gold and Maroon with each interior finished in Red or White. The results aren’t perfect but damn good. Each will set you back about $249 US.

I think the most perfect solution is that its quality can surpass AA and is lower than CMC. But it doesn’t, it’s worse than AA.
How about the price point?
No more than $300. This is feasible
For a 1/4 of the price its a good buy, it pisses me off when I read of collectors moaning about the detail, that its not that great to CMC merc, well how are young collectors going to get on the ladder, myself I think CMC are over rated, just look at EXOTO, CMC are not in the same league.,come back EXOTO and let’s see some great 1.18 diecasts.
The interior in the black and gold Pullmans are hideous. The Maroon looks fitting with the all white interior but the suitcases should be black. It they would offer other interior colors, then that would be good.
Gerry, I hear you. The red is too bright unless it is my monitor. I also noticed the texture on the interior. Rather cartoonish looking just like the CMC. My dad once owned a 300SEL and the leather of this era is more refined, smoother, not like a crock skin, but more like a good pair of leather gloves.
for got to say, im falling back in love with AA theres some great diecast models coming on the market again,great because i fell out of love with AA diecast,
If AA reproduce their Pullman again, we will have a 10/10 since it has in my opinion the best proportions and finish and they have a very strong card in their sleeve – the SWB 600!
I would like to see the short version of the 600 done well. I have seen images of live motorcars and they are beautiful.
Kann mir jemand verraten, wo ich dieses Modell in F, I, NL oder D beziehen kann. Eine Bestellung in China ist mir zu risikobehaftet.
