About product

The Mercedes C9 in a 1:43 starter kit

A plastic kit of the Mercedes C9 sports prototype in 1:43 scale from the maker Heller, supplied as a starter kit. That means there is not only a model in the box but also the basic paints, a brush and glue, so building can start as soon as it is unwrapped. The number of parts is deliberately low, so the build takes one evening.

The real subject

The Mercedes C9 was a closed Group C sports prototype, that is, from the category which at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s was among the technically most interesting in the history of endurance racing. The car with a turbocharged engine in a silver finish followed on from the tradition of the Silver Arrows and in 1989 it won the twenty-four-hour race at Le Mans. Its smooth body was designed for extreme speed on long straights.

Building and painting tips

A small scale forgives less than it seems: a silver body will show every unevenness, so it pays to sand the surface and degrease it before painting. Apply the paints from the set in thin coats and let them dry properly. Lay the decals onto a smooth gloss base. Glue the glazing with a glue that does not fog, or with decal varnish.

Who the model is for

  • Beginners and younger builders
  • Modelers who want a quick build for one evening
  • Those interested in Group C endurance racing
  • Collectors of racing cars in 1:43 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The basic paints, a brush and glue are part of the package with this starter kit.
