Mercedes 300 SL 1956 Red by Spark
We usually think of silver paintwork on a Mercedes 300SL but there were a few built in other colours including a handful in bright red. John Surtees’ personal car wore similar colours to the car modelled (although the wheels on his were all red) and the light tan interior makes a pleasing contrast with the bright paintwork. The overall shape of the car looks pretty accurate and the side vent detail is particularly well done.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
