CMC officially shows off new production images of their revised 1:18 Mercedes-Benz Renntransporter Blue Wonder.  As per CMC, the following details have been added or tweaked… “we are introducing a new version that incorporates newly discovered exterior details and accessories from the archives. For example, the chromed wheel covers, an embellishment of Mercedes star inlaid in the front, and auxiliary head lamps with orange-colored lens. Furthermore, there are additional stone-chipping guards on the rear fenders, a rear plate illuminating system with two reflectors, and an oval national symbol “D” on the rear bumper”.  What a beast, this is what DIECAST collecting is all about folks!  Model is currently in the manufacturing process, and she is scheduled for release late July, early August 2016.

About the Blue Wonder…  “In 1954, Mercedes-Benz created in its experimental department a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind model —  the Mercedes-Benz racing car transporter. With a deep blue finish, soft curves of the body, and a top speed of 170 km/hr , the “Blue Wonder” caused as much attention as the racing cars that it transported. After Mercedes-Benz retired from professional racing at the of 1955, the transporter disappeared from the public eye and was regrettably scrapped in 1967. In the early 90s, Daimler-Benz remembered the importance of this vehicle to its racing heritage. Under the direction of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center, an official replica was resurrected.”
