Minichamps is back with an Asian exclusive to their 1:18 diecast and opening Mercedes Benz SLS Black Series – We reviewed this model back in July 2014. Colours include White, Silver and Yellow. Upgrades include a clear coat, better panel gaps (doors) and two-tone texture seats. What about updating solid plastic intakes up front?
Product# TBD
All 3 colours are already sold out. Hoping to see a re-production for other markets too.
It seems there is an appetite for average metal and opening models. Though, kudos to the subject matter.
Have you actually seen pictures of these re-releases from ebay sellers? Improved pannel gaps are absolute joke!! They are worse than the original release and I know I had one, but yet asking 3x the price if not more
LOL, oh Minichamps!
PS – No, we don’t use eBay to purchase models. That stoped 5-6 years back!
yeah those gaps are definitely not improved, they are using the same old worn out tooling… it get’s worse by each new release
That looks like a toy. The engine looks like a few plastic bits, and the dog legs are huge. What a waste.
Just like their recent pathetic overpriced releases of BMW and Porsche. Can’t even use actual mesh in the grille and vents
