Both AUTOart

Mercedes Benz 190E 2.5 16V EVO2 (glad to see AUTOart abandon screws to attach models in their boxes)

BMW 502 V8 Limousine 2.6 Luxus (no screws here either but there should have been :giggle . Mine broke free and managed to lose the front plate - no biggie)

Two wonderful new releases from AUTOart but they also came with those equally new and not so wonderful price increases. :ranting Oh well, it's helping in the restraint department. :giggle If not for those new prices I'd likely have a half dozen other new releases - BMW 328, Bugattis, Mustangs...

Didn't know you got the 190E. This is the one with the "Mercds" engine block?

:iagree It certainly looks the business. A great model Gary - you won't be disappointed (unless you can spell :lol ).

Richard,

Is this the same model that has Mercedes spelled wrong on the engine cast?

I have not heard to many people make complaints about it, so I am wondering if there were only a few with misspellings.

Congrats on your latest additions! I've seen the 502 in person at my local store (who rarely display his models becasue they sell out fast), the details are amazing! Too bad they are so expensive. The Evo 2 is awesome too and it'll have a perfect partner once AUTOart release the race versions.

Yes, it is spelled "Merceds" on the valve cover. A small mistake that adds to diecast lore I guess. I'm not bothered by it.
