Panoz Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Not sure if anyone has seen this but Diopark will release an early Mercedes W123 (1976-82) in plastic in 1/35 scale. Diorama possibilities are of course endless and hopefully more cars will follow (Yugos, Ladas, Toyota Corollas...etc) http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/newkitnews/diopark.html And to comment to I've read it in a forum, this was not the model used in the Entebbe raid. The car used there was a W115 220D Lang (the typical middle eastern taxi of the time) painted black to resemble Idi Amin's Mercedes-Benz W100 600 "Pullman". And that was the end of today's history lesson... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildagreek Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Does it come with the two Scousers pinching it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louiex2 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Very interesting release in 1/35th. I didn't realize IED's were Mercedes Benz accessories back then. Will have to dig out on old sales brochure and double check the factory options list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Grumpylee Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The Scooter in the box art is also available, could do a dio from Quadraphenia WE ARE THE MODS! WE ARE THE MODS! WE ARE WE ARE, WE ARE THE MODS!!! Such a classic film, I think the scooters will be to new but I suppose a few 'mods' and it would be sorted. I've checked the 'bay' they'd coming from Hong Kong! The merc was about £30 then £8.30 p&p, the scooters were £12.50 ish and that was £2.65 p&p I think??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
