Here are the part number's of the 2 colour's it will be available in.They already come up on Mercedes-Benz system and i have ordered myself the W213 in both colour's.

I'm hoping there will be a estate and a exclusive variant later down the track just like how Norev did with the W205 C-class.

B6 696 0379 Mercedes E-Class (W213) AMG Line, grey, 2016

B6 696 0380 Mercedes E-Class (W213) AMG Line, black, 2016

[/quote]Great!!..so, is it a matte grey or glossy grey? That's what worries me..

Thanks for the information!!!

Not bad for a Merc. I am awaiting the 7er too, I wanna see the final product though. Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer.

Hi Tom!!...I'm hoping soon too for both of these the G12 7er & the W213 E-Klasse models as well!

Apparently not, Kyosho make a press release & said they were nothing to do with them.
[/quote]Yeah, I remembered that.. that's why I mentioned "Off-Shot" as they aren't really Kyosho, but originally had association with them...

 

[D N'D-Land]

Seems quite nice. Norev level though. I see a G-Class is also in their pipeline.

Hi Cristian! ..yeah, I'm looking forward to more of their releases..hopefully soon on the G-Klasse as I don't own a single one..

 

[D N'D-Land]

6x6 on its way soon, I presume.
I do wonder what the iScale G-Wagen is though. Would it be the recently facelifted version or an older, more classic variant.

I'm assuming that Mercedes has requested the facelifted version..

 

[D N'D-Land]

Just Pre-ordered the black one.. YAY!!

The Grey is Magno (Matte)

..so, Black it is until i see how I can take apart a grey one to gloss/clear coat it!!

Kyosho Germany never made anything, they were only distributor for Kyosho RC (and other brands, mentioned above).
But they were the key for Kyosho Corp. to German car industry, took the orders and forwarded them to Japan.
Then Kyosho Germany was bought by Robbe RC but those went bankrupt after that deal.
Bernd Moebus founded his own brand iScale to go on with diecast merchandising.
Though Kyosho Corp. denies any relation to iScale the models are obviously made by the same plant. When you dismantle the iScale R8 workmanship is conspicuously close to Kyosho.

So, Gaincorp Corp in China was making the Kyosho diecasts(or is still is making). So, same people, basically?

they just need to get their QC levels up a bit (as the 2nd gen R8 had some issues). Also speed up production times!

Cheers for the info Rainer

On a related note, while digging around online for more pics of this model I came across a part number for a 1/18 S213 E-Class (T-model) in blue - B66960383. Seems like this one will be in "Exclusive" trim with the traditional grille and hood ornament. Haven't been able to find any pictures though (or any more pictures of the sedan other than the two posted by the OP).

Thanks for letting us know the part number

..iScale needs to hurry up and release these w213 & S213 as well as teh G12 BMW 7er ASAP!

 

[D N'D-Land]

Yeah, this grey one looks really bad! I'm hoping that the black one that I pre-ordered earlier last month looks better and has the wheels shown by Benz's Shop..

The sad thing is that they didn't even the lower bumper black where it connects with the rear diffuser..and those tires and shut line looks horrible in this badly painted matte grey coloured one..

 

[D N'D-Land]

Yet another shoddy job from iScale. How can manufacturers sign off such models? I sent my yellow R8 straight back to CK and was hoping the greeny one they did would have been corrected, but judging by CK's pics, alas not

So, the Green one is bad as well?

 

[D N'D-Land]

That B6 696 0379 looks to me like a Mercedes parts department product code. It seems fair to assume that the price is the exorbitant fee Mercedes dealers will charge.

I don't know what Mercedes-Benz site you guys are finding these models on?...I can't find them on the German or or the UK sites?

However, our local dealer was able to order the black one for me last month

So, I hope that my black one will be nice and have the multi-spoke wheels as shown

 

[D N'D-Land]

So, the Green one is bad as well?

Look at the ride height, wheels, shutlines and glue around the side intakes
[/quote]You're right!..it doesn't look all that great for sure. They need to reign in their QC in China..but again, these are Cheapo models and not AAs models

 

[D N'D-Land]

Amazing this E Klass and the new 7er

Are you looking at the same pictures as we are for the E ?
[/quote]

...but, I hope that my black E-klasse with other wheels look better than this Matte Grey Nightmare!

I really hope that the black one looks like this!!..and still has the same wheels...

 

[D N'D-Land]

Amazing this E Klass and the new 7er

I certainly like the 7er!!

..and I hope that the E-Klasse in black will look much better than the matte grey colored one!

If it is, then I'd say that they are AWESOME!!!

Who remember's the day when Mercedes-Benz had 3 colour's for the 1:18 dealer edition's but since the GLE it became only 2 colour's.
[/quote]I know

..so weird that they are doing that now???

Maybe I'm not being critical enough (I do have a tendency to rationalize away a model's shortcomings when the subject matter is something I like), but I don't think that looks too bad. The tires are a little iffy, and the paint isn't very good (but then again that matte metallic gray seems difficult for a lot of manufacturers to get right, and I feel like the uneven paint makes the shutlines stand out more), but it seems like it's fundamentally a decent model. The interior looks pretty good and overall it looks like the shape and stance are OK. The pictures of the black one look better for sure, though, and that's the one I'll probably end up getting. I am tempted to get a second one and turn it into an E43 AMG - at least with this gray one I won't feel bad about stripping off a nice paint job!

Also, I found 3 more part numbers for (allegedly) upcoming models on another site, in addition to the blue S213 I mentioned before:

B66960384: S213 E-class estate, silver
B66960612: A205 C-class cabriolet, silver
B66960613: A205 C-class cabriolet, white

Thanks!!

I was thinking to also buy the grey one and repaint it the new green color that the car was shown in

..but I hate those wheels and I want the black one as it has the best looking wheels on it, but my dealer says that the black model will be out in December???

By the way which site did you find this information on?

Thanks again for sharing this information!!

No idea what their source is or how reliable this info is (it seems they have some models assigned to the wrong manufacturer...), though.
