1/12th scale Fulgerex Mercedes SSK   RSS
This model is very rare and being restored at my Client and good friends request and has proven to be a very challenging project , it involves the scratchbuilding of a new fuel tank and numerous other parts and the straightening of the badly damaged and bent chassis.
it will be displayed without paint to show the brass details throughout the finished model

One of the finest models it has been my pleasure to see. Many years ago I was visiting a model shop in Melbourne and they had a Fulgurex Bentley 4.5 litre Blower sitting next to the Mercedes SSK. The Merc was sold but the Bentley was for sale at $700 (a considerable amount in the sixties). I wish I'd had the money then to buy it, because the detail was superb, like a Swiss watch. What a privelege you have to be able to work on such a fine piece.
