Mercedes-Benz 500E V8 1991, Red Metallic 1:43 Scale Diecast Car – MaXichamps
This Mercedes-Benz 500E V8 1991, Red Metallic 1:43 Scale Diecast Car by MaXichamps combines authentic collector-focused styling with particularly strong value within the popular 1:43 scale segment. Maxichamps is the more accessible sister range to Minichamps, with many releases using proven Minichamps tooling to recreate established subjects with accurate proportions, convincing body shapes, and a slightly simplified level of finishing and decoration. This makes the range particularly appealing to collectors who value authenticity and display quality at an accessible price point.This model features convincing proportions, authentic colours, defined body lines, and carefully reproduced exterior styling. While Maxichamps models are generally finished to a simpler specification than the main Minichamps range, the use of established tooling means the fundamental shape and character of the original vehicle are reproduced to a strong collector standard.Key Features ✓ Authentic Styling – Carefully recreates the proportions and character of the original vehicle ✓ 1:43 Scale Model – Popular compact collector scale ideal for display cabinets and themed collections ✓ Proven Model Tooling – Many Maxichamps releases draw on established Minichamps tooling and previously developed subjects ✓ Strong Collector Value – Simplified finishing helps provide an attractive balance of accuracy, presentation, and affordability ✓ Sealed Bodyshell – Fixed body design with no opening parts, typical of this scale ✓ Diecast Construction – Metal body with plastic parts for a solid collectable feel ✓ Display Case Presentation – Typically presented on a display base beneath a clear acrylic cover ✓ Space-Efficient Display – Ideal for building larger collections without requiring excessive shelf space Specifications Brand MaXichamps SKU 940 037162 Scale 1:43 Dimensions (LxWxH) Approx. 90mm x 40mm x 30mm to 120mm x 50mm x 40mm (3.5 x 1.6 x 1.2 in to 4.7 x 2.0 x 1.6 in) Material Diecast Metal Packaging Display Case Production Type Series-produced collectable model Year (Vehicle / Event) 1991 Age Recommendation 14+ Why This Model Stands OutMaxichamps occupies a particularly useful position in the 1:43 scale market. By making use of proven model development and established tooling for many subjects, the range can offer convincing proportions and authentic styling while keeping the specification and price below the main Minichamps range. It is an excellent option for collectors who prioritise the overall accuracy and appearance of a model over the very finest levels of decoration and finishing. Collector’s Note Maxichamps is the value-focused sister range to Minichamps and is particularly well known for revisiting established subjects in new colours and specifications. Many releases are based on previously developed Minichamps tooling, giving collectors access to well-proportioned and attractive models with a more straightforward level of finish. This combination makes Maxichamps particularly appealing for building larger 1:43 scale collections.
