Cool W212 vs W176 and R231 (1/18 Scale )

I know three different specs of cars but all of these marvels are coming from MB in other worlds the best Teutonic brand for me
So, a while ago I had posted a topic W212 vs Rolls Royce Ghost and got many replies . Well, today I picked up my two new addition to my mini MB collection and took some cool shots and I would like to share them with you .
1st, let me start off by 3cars side by side

W176 is the newest kid on the MB block and precisely there is no any resemblance of that hopeless previous A Class aside from famous MB logo on the car And what a car , I have not seen these in person but read some reviews , watched some videos and I must say I really like it .
Shifter is in the correct place as most MB models and this car is very very cool to own I guess lol

Another thing , I noticed when I popped the car out of the box was I saw a screwdriver that came with the model car same as R176 .
Being AMG version , this car has 19" wheels and AMG pedals and badass AMG body kit . Well, let the pics talk

In this 3rd part of the topic , I am gonna show the pics of R231 SL . But 1st , last pic of the W176 A Class and then rest of the images is gonna be about the legendary hardtop car


When I opened the box and got the car outta box , 1st thing that tickled my interest was hard top , magic sky in R231 lingo . As you can see in the images , the manufacturer did a courtesy of making a reserved detached place for hardtop . BTW, screwdriver is under the box as opposed to top of the W176 .
Let me also say , there are also cloth to keep these cars clean but I am storing these in box so dust is not a problem

I took top and topless pics of the R231 , so you be the judge to assess how this car looks better top vs topless .

Thanks guys, well seriously I would like to own either of these two besides W212 . Well, if I move to Canada where cars are much more proper priced , I might buy R231 or W176 A45 AMG
So, two MBs in the garage good idea

I stacked up these 3 cars and in the future I am thinking of collecting some more lol

you should move to the states if you want a "proper priced" car .
