Mercedes W196 Moss #12 Model Car Kit 1:8

The Mercedes W196 Moss #12 model car kit in 1:8 scale brings a classic open-wheel Grand Prix machine into a large-format build with 451 parts. Silver bodywork, race number 12 markings, exposed suspension areas and the narrow single-seat layout give the finished replica the unmistakable character of a mid-century racing car. The body shows the long, streamlined proportions of the W196, while the open mechanical sections keep key engineering details in view. Wire-spoke wheels, treaded tyres, side air intake openings and the prominent front grille shape the car's competition look. Around the cockpit, the small windscreen, round instrument dials and wood-look steering wheel add a period-correct driving position. The rear section adds further visual depth with visible engine-area detailing and curved side exhaust pipes, while the fuel filler section and body fasteners reinforce the workshop-built feel of the original racer. Assembly is required and the stated assembly time is 2100 minutes. Once completed, the 1:8 format gives these details room to stand out on a shelf, desk or in a display cabinet. The model suits focused building sessions as well as close-up viewing afterward, with the open-wheel layout and metallic finish rewarding attention from the nose to the rear bodywork.
