Mercedes Benz Sprinter

Post by Rich » Fri Dec 24, 2021 9:50 pm

This is a Kinsmart 1:43 or 1:48 scale pull back toy. With some work, they turn in to very nice models. I took it apart, and painted the grille and front bumper piece and just the rear bumper off of the chassis a nice gloss white. The only other painting on the body was the lower vents on the grille, and the MB emblem. The stock pieces have the black side molding done as a tampo. That and the Sprinter and license plate area detail were removed. The rest was just decals. I ran the window decals on my THW run, so I had those already. I did a full sheet of nothing but German Sprinter markings. I will offer it for retail next year. I need to run some additional details for it. I painted up an extra wide lightbar, and used the Feuerwehr decals from the sheet on it. I removed the tires from the wheels, and painted them aluminum. When dry, I painted the center caps black. Thats it. And they are only around $6.00 or so.
