1/24 8202-0350 Monogram Mercedes-Benz 1939 Supercharged 540-K - Special Marketing Issue
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed VG+
Very rare. This is a 1972 special limited release marketing run. The box top is the expensive, high-gloss version and the kit has a special lower box tray that is entirely factory sealed. This was so that potential customers could remove the box top and view the kit while still keeping the kit sealed. To maintain the quality appearance on the inside as well, the tray is a unique version that is white cardboard on the outside while one white cardboard insert keeps the body and parts in place and looking neat. Features rolling chassis detail, detailed engine, removable hood, complete interior, removable soft top or boot and more. Molded in silver, white, black, clear and chrome-plated plastic and with rubber tires. The 540K was produced from 1937 to 1939 by Daimler-Benz and was priced at about $11,000 - a King's ransom in those days. The supercharger boosted horsepower to 180 and the car traveled easily at 105 mph.
