Nice pics with the diorama in the background. The Mercedes looks like it has a pretty good gloss look to the paint. :wink2:

To add some info to this thread...The car comes with 2 different doors to allow for the open or closed look. The paint finish is superb and the figures well done. If asked would I recommend this set the answer is a resounding............... YES. !!!!!

You can get some of it on the Bay --but most of it i got out of Germany from dealers i know there or i have several buddies who go over 2-3 times a year for the German toy soldier shows.I used to go over every other year or so but have not gone in the last 8-9 years.Mike B.
Since i have been doing metal the last few years i have been selling a lot of my composition and tinplate.My good friend Lloyd has had some of it on e-bay selling under gearsdown.He is a retired airline pilot ,is in Germany often and has been selling these items for 10 years or so.

Thanks Mike! Neat stuff. {bravo}}
Although I'm not the biggest fan of LAH type products for personal reasons, I do own some K/C LAH because I believe it has some "Historical Significance".....Dark Reality....This CS Staff Car looks to be well done.....Congrats to Brian and CS.....Is it possible for some one to do a side by side comparison photo of this Staff Car with the K/C Hitler Staff Car?....I have the K/C Green Version.....I believe it was from the K/C Fields of Battle Series....I would be very interested in how they match up in terms of scale and quality.....The green K/C Hitler Staff car was "very well done" and IMO a bit hard to improve upon.....I missed out on the older K/C silver version which I believe was 1:32 scale.........Thank you in advance for anyone willing/able to post comparison photos.

This Mercedes car is very well done. For owners of the K&C versions, the biggest thing that stands out with the CS Mercedes is the gloss black paint finish which looks correct as this car is supposed to be more of a parade or touring version than a military armored car.I can post pics after returning from London. Cheers ....
Thank You Panzerace.
Bought my Mercedes at The Annandale Show yesterday. It is a great model. I highly recommend adding it to your collection. Also, Minuteman, Hobby Bunker and Treefrog (which recently started showing there) should be complemented for their outstanding booths. Next show I believe is in Feb. and despite the projected cold is well worth attending. Regards, Larry.
