1955 Mercedes Benz 300S by Maisto in 1:18 scale

Maisto tends to get a bad rap among collectors but personally I have a lot of Maistos in my collection and I'm pretty much a happy camper. For what its worth I do have CMCs and Exoto also and they are really on a different level. But my Maistos are happily coexisting with my AUTOarts, Kyoshos, Hot Wheels and others. At the end of the day, collecting is all about what YOU want for yourself and I'm very happy checking them out everyday since a lot of them are in my office ;-)

I understand the criticism leveled against their smaller scales like 1/64s but a lot of their 1:18s are actually decent models.

This Mercedes is no exception. While processing the photos in Lightroom prior to posting here, I found myself marveling at what a nice model it was.

Hopefully you enjoy looking at the model as much as I did.
