Dave Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I read somewhere that these cars were very fast and stable for their time. Hitler liked being driven (seemingly he never drove) very fast at all times except parades. The doors had special holsters for lugers to use in self defense for the bodyguards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LACKIE14 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 excellent vehicle for the party limo business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'll wait for the stretched pink version! Seriously though, did someone not produce an injection moulded kit of this car. I know K&C have done a painted model recently. I seem to remember a kit of Hitler's car but it may have been some time ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marui Japan 1:35 HITLER MERCEDES-BENZ Staff Car, the only reason i know is i came across it searching for other pics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thanks Lackie. I wonder if it is still available. In the 70's kits were made of some unusual items. I remember a kit of a full size 88mm Anti tank round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Just carried out a search for Marui. They seem to only make BB guns now (if it's the same company) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I remember it as quite common,there was a model shop in Edinburgh that sold them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 If you mean Harburn Hobbies in Elm Row at the top of Leith walk. It's still there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 No G, I remember Harburn was near the bottom of Leith Walk then. This shop was round the corner towards Leith Academy school. It was run by a very pleasant little old lady. There were some interesting pubs nearby where women took their clothes off (and probably more!). Of course I only visited them for research purposes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Dave - research for nose art for the model plane right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leon21 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Here, my picture of Hitler and his car c1935. Not sure its the same one,did he have more than one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think this is one of the early cars he used. AH was fond of being driven very quickly in fast cars. He used several but I'm no expert on the types. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
