Attention collectors: Mercedes releases miniatures of M-Class, B-Class

(December 21, 2011) Following the market launch of their full-size counterparts, detailed miniatures of the new Mercedes M-Class and B-Class have become the latest additions to the Mercedes-Benz Collection.

The efficient off-roader and the compact sports tourer are available with immediate effect as high-grade miniatures in scale 1:87, 1:43 and 1:18.

Developed in collaboration with renowned manufacturers Busch, Herpa, Minichamps and Norev, these collectors' models are being sold through Mercedes-Benz outlets, Mercedes-Benz dealerships, the Mercedes-Benz Museum and the online shop.



As is customary for the Mercedes-Benz Collection, a huge amount of emphasis was placed on authenticity. It's why the model cars are available in many of the original paintwork colors and with popular special equipment features such as ILS headlamps and panoramic roofs.

The miniatures in scale 1:43 and 1:18 even have the same interior trims as their full-size equivalents. Brown burr walnut or the honeycomb and matrix looks are the trim options for the B-Class, while aluminum, poplar anthracite or brown ash are used in the M-Class, depending on its paintwork color.

The front doors and tailgate and the hood and trunk lid of the 1:18 models can be opened. Their interiors and trunks are flocked, and the rear seat bench can be folded forward in the B-Class model.

All model cars in the Mercedes-Benz Collection come in Mercedes-Benz designer packaging. A screwdriver is even enclosed with the 1:18 scale models, allowing the model to be removed from its screw-fastened packaging with the minimum of fuss.
