Nice model, particularly strong with the exterior dual paint and the very detailed interior.
The paint (both the kalahari gold and rubellite red) is metallic and very well applied throughout. The interior (black and white in my case) has sliding first row seats and movable second row leg rests and is overall very detailed with lovely headrest pillows.
The unique feature is the turning rear wheels that can be set to turn with the front wheels (high speed operation) or opposite the front wheels (maneuvring at low speeds on the real car). Sadly the rear wheels cannot be disengaged from the front wheels. They have to turn one way or another, and since they turn at similar angles to the front wheels, it can look a bit extreme on the model.
The one issue with my particular model is that two of the wheels are almost stuck and even after lubricating them, they rotate only with a large force applied to them, unfortunate. Otherwise the champagne flute multispoke wheels are gorgeous, if possibly a couple millimeters too small, which causes a pretty low ride.
Definitely an upgrade on Norev versions of the Mercedes Maybach and not that much more expensive, but I wish the turning/wheels part was redone a little better. Almost Real could certainly manage that.
