Just received a De Agostini 1/43 model of the Mercedes Benz 1936 Roadster. The was a pleasant surprise knowing the brand did not have that much detailing based on my earlier models. Not only were the details crisp and the craftsmanship casting more accurate, it was all-metal. Both the body and under chassis were metal die cast, Even more expensive models like Minichamps, used plastic underbody. So it's relatively heavy with a solid feel like my Matchbox. Nothing to modify apart from painting the exhaust pipe under the body. The model pictures appear to have a black body, but is actually very dark green.
