1:18 W220 die-cast ????
does such a thing exist? i'd like to pick one up, but can't find anything listed on the usual places i find such things.
preferably a late-model faclifted W220.
any pointers?
i'm only interested in 1:18 scale.
thanks,
doody.

Well Maisto Makes them. I got two facelift models today. I happen to have four w220 models in 1:18. Two pre facelift one in horizon blue, the other in a navy color. The other two are also horizon blue with face lift. They even updated the buttons and the nav on the inside. Maisto Makes great die cast models at very reasonable prices. They are the only ones I know of that make the w220. They have it at die cast muscle. And the pictures of it dont do it any justice. It looks like **** in the pics, but they are beautiful in real life. The only thing is that the face lift models dont say S500 on the back like the others. Sorry for the buttload of info. Hope this helps.

I gotta charge my camera. I will post pics of one of them, cause I sorta busted the headlamp on one, tried to super glue it, got distracted superglued the front of the light, and now the plastic is faded. Im going to order a new model from die cast muscle. They got them cheapest. But yes tonight I will post pics. Around six or seven. I cannot say my pics will even do justice though. But in real life they are beautiful. I have sort of a show room set up and its really neat when lit up.

We've got a local model train shop that sells small Benz models (size of Matchbox or HotWheels). They did not look very good. Pics of your (repaired) 1:18 would be great.

I regret to inform you that when my camera says low resolution it means LOW RESOLUTION. The last picture came out better than the rest. They still dont do the car any justice. But the car is only 22.50 on diecastmuscle.com so its totally worth it. I would recommend it.

Ok well I did the best I could, and I emailed them to Gurdas. They definently werent my best pics by far. I hope they do though. There are two on ebay right now, or last time I checked, but they arent facelift models. I would highly recommend this model though. I just ordered another thru die cast muscle to replace my broken one.
