It has the same quality, detail and "heft" that exists with Signiture/Premium's other cars. It's a thing of beauty.
The figures are "PC" and non-articulated, but with some nice sculpting to them. The driver has very short feet and legs to be able to fit behind the drivers wheel.
The flags on the fenders are just red squares, no other markings, so these are also "PC". All wheels roll, doors, hood, and trunk open. The front wheels are steerable.
The box was made for this, rather then the generic box usually found with these, and it has three colours listed on the side, off-white, gray, and black, that this will be available in.
The figures I'll just put away, but there are some decals available that will help with the flags.
Fairfield mint packaged this very well and shipped it very fast.

Its a piece ive been hoping for,but the figures are bad. The color of the parade car is wrong aswell. If your willing to make the changes it could be a nicer piece. I wish th "PC" junkies would go away! Far away!

I've seen that before from other places and I don't get it.

Thanks for the "heads up" on this.
Ordered one for myself just now. And that's a good thing because General Burkhalter will now have his staff car to go to the front

I just got off the phone with Fairfield because I wanted to get the gray model as was spoken about in the original post. THey told me that they were only availible in white, so I guess I will have to paint it myself

i could probably find a use for those figures if you decide you dont need them.

General Blasto, if you haven't ordered it yet, I believe the other colours are on the way. The black one is now available in Europe, so shouldn't be to much longer to get here.

scbvideoboy, I'm a packrat.
AMERICAN_GRENADIER, yeh, the colour seems a little odd. I'm happy with it since it's different from the others. Also I did some research and found this;
http://e-carzone.com/daimler-benz_(merc ... 1934-1939/
(note, I copied and pasted this link, but it only goes to the home page. Just follow the links from there.)
Off-white seems plausible. Signature's webpage for this states that it was sponsored (commissioned?) by the Mercedes Benz Museum in Germany, so I'm also taking their word for it.

... but I think I'll wait for one of the other colors that'll be available , like the black one or even a grey one.
* Although the white one is ,...... kinda' cool too.
