![]() More information can be found at Mercedes-Benz C-Class ![]() ![]() Good detail on the rear brake lights. ![]() ![]() I bought this car for 50 cents at a flea market. It has a few scuffs on the glass, but otherwise was found in good condition. Detail is very good for a non MB/HW brand company. |

Minivan

I bought one in Tesco the other da for 33p. For the price, the quality is excellent, and certainly matches that of a Matchbox. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Nice model! And what is it with cars ending production runs on my birthday? The last AMC (an Eagle 4WD station wagon) was produced on December 14th 1987, and this Merc ended production on the same date, nineteen years later. Odd... |

A weird question, but is this car black, dark gray, or dark green? |

It's dark green with black trim around the doors and roof supports. It is a dark color. I use two 27 watt fluorescent lights when shooting pics of this car and it still appears to be slightly dark. Kinda funky. |

Well I looked at the pics so fast I just assumed it was black. That is a good eye Swifty! Now, a second look I can kinda tell. It is a good representation of the actual car, I think. Not too showy, no bling on it, so it gets an acceptable rating here. I do like the license plate detail, along with the lights. |

Black was my first impression also- I took a good look at it when updating the car of the day discussion thread (kept as a guide to ensure variety so we don't get too many of a certain type/brand/make/model of car) and realized it was looking dark hunter green. I aim for accuracy!

A fantastic model from a budget brand. It makes you wonder what this would look like if Realtoy gussied it up with some premium wheels and even better details. |

The wheels are the only thing about this car that says "Economy Brand" to me. Otherwise it looks pretty up-market. I like it. Anyone want to give it a wheel swap? |

Don't recall this one but there are a lot of Realtoy models out there I have not seen. A very nice and well detailed model.

Three different wheels available on the green release (concave spokes was most recent; smaller wheels in the foreground was the initial release):![]() Some other releases were questionable (the periwinkle blue with "Turbo" banner on the windshield and the wheels selected for the orange release are both weird). ![]() |
