Georgia Coffee Promo 1/72 Mercedes 300 SLR and 300 SL Roadster; Stirling Moss #722 Mille Miglia

I just picked up these two Mercedes from a Japanese Georgia Coffee promo. They are 1/72 and came in little baggies hooked onto the drink lids. The base does have the Georgia Coffee logo although I'm not sure who actually manufactured them. Anyway both of these cars I have been dying to get in 1/64 and to my knowledge they haven't been done (if anyone knows of any, please let me know.) They are the Mercedes Benz 300 SL Roadster and the Mercedes Benz 300 SLR #722 that Stirling Moss raced in the Mille Miglia. Quality is actually very nice, not quite Kyosho 1/64 quality, but almost. The only complaint I can find with them are the wheels, which are unpainted grey plastic and would have looked much better in chrome or painted silver.

The scale also fits quite nicely with the Hot Wheels 100% COE Haulers:

Interesting models! Some time back someone here showed off something similar, a premium packaged with coffee in Japan, with the company name Suntory Boss:

I've looked from time to time, they have some interesting models, some better than others but many decent models available.

You did good!
