The 1958 Mercedes 220 SE is a thing of absolute beauty. It is classy, elegant and the bodylines remind you of the ethereal Hollywood starlet Grace Kelly in a long gown. This week we have the Sunstar 1:18 for review.

Why? Because everyone should have a beautiful classic Benz model in their collection. It looks serene and was made to be an uber-luxury cruiser available as a convertible. Yes, that's also available from Sunstar in this scale.

Pros: Superb interior with beautifully crafted dash and seats in brown. Very fragile, but also very accurate logo up front on the vertical grill. Smooth paint, sharp chrome, straight, smoothly rolling wheels. Separately painted and highlighted interior parts.

Cons: Hood doesn't open far enough to view the 2.2 straight six. That's it.

Cost: Average prices online are about $55. Weight charges push that up to 7000 TK.
