A project you can really take pride in. I think I am most fond of my projects that have never been done previously in paper.


Quality work

Impressive work Kacper! It looks wonderful, a very elegant and historical car. Double merit because I know how complicated it is to start from scratch, and to top it off with little information. Congratulations, impeccable work!

There's something very sinister looking about it. I didn't realize how small it was until seeing it next to the coin and tweezer. You've packed in a lot of detail. Excellent job!

It's a beautiful model,no doubt about it.Scale makes is even more stunning.How do you guys make such small models?

I don't think it's any more sinister than any of open top parade cars ever made.It's likely nowhere near as safe as modern cars

Thank you everyone.

I think Don might be right that there's something sinister in this W150. It's probably just the fact that it's the Adolf Hitler's car. When I look at this model, I see the whole World War 2, with its most terrifying scenes. It's a completely different feeling when compared to the other models. Usually we build war machines from single battles or campaigns and then we only think about those events and nothing else.
But the Hitler's Mercedes-Benz 770K (W150) is something completely different. Like I said at the beginning:
"A magnificent, beautiful piece of engineering that has become a symbol of Third Reich."

I would update those words with only one thing. This W150 is not only a symbol of Third Reich but also a symbol of WW2.

To me, it's definitely one of the most fascinating machines in history.

Thanks, Philip.

And by the way, the next one in 1/50 scale will be Renault FT-17 in Chinese(NRA) markings from 1933. It's rather a short-term project as the model is quite simple and straightforward when compared to the W150.
