1/16 1-3407-998 Imai 1906 Mercedes-Benz Motorized - (ex-Bandai / Mercedes Benz)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
Very, very rare and from ex-Bandai molds. Still factory sealed. The seal is badly split but is still factory sealing the box at three corners. Highly detailed, large-scale working model with a RE-14 electric drive motor. Includes a novel, well-engineered and correctly hidden metal drive box with gears and transaxle for drive on both rear wheels. Bandai even engineered this model so that the drive belts and cogs move just like on the real car. The on/off system has been improved over the original Bandai system; the engine now operates from a hidden switch under the floorboard and the motor is reversed from a switch on the floor of the interior. The headlights also operate; the batteries are cleverly hidden under the front seat. This kit features a detailed scale engine, removable hood, full frame and detailed underside, complete suspension, front wheels that can be turned, full interior, opening doors and more. To minimize or eliminate painting, Imai usually molded this kit in gloss white, red, gray, black, brown, clear, brass plate, nickel plate and with rubber tires, metal parts, flexible drive belts and more.
