1903 Mercedes 60HP (Micromodels, 1/50)

[Aloniuk]

First of three from the MC1 set. This version was campaigned in the Gordon Bennet Cup series. The radiator was highlighted with metal foil and I used rub-down transfers for the numbering. I used rubber o-rings cut to length for the tyres.

Probably enough to be getting on with given the lack of doors, seatbelts, power steering and braking force...

My 1968 Karmann Ghia only has 60HP.

Yep, same for my first car, a '99 Corsa. It would still do nearly 100mph (don't ask me how I know that...). Early cars were lightly built and the engines had massive displacements which produced huge amounts of torque.
