About the Mercedes 350 SL R107 Dark Blue Sun Star 1:18
TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Mercedes 350 SL R107 reproduces the 1972 roadster in dark blue metallic, an early example of a generation Mercedes kept in production until 1989. Diecast construction covers the SL's restrained early-production styling before later bumper and trim revisions changed its look.
Few Mercedes roadsters stayed on sale as long as the R107, and this early 350 SL captures the model before nearly two decades of gradual revision softened its original lines.
Sun Star's Diecast Treatment of the R107
Sun Star has built a reputation on mid-tier diecast that sits above mass-market pricing without reaching hand-built resin territory, and this 350 SL shows that positioning clearly: an opening hood reveals engine bay detail, the dark blue metallic paint carries genuine depth under direct light rather than a flat single-tone finish, and panel gaps run tighter than typical entry-level diecast even if they do not match the sub-millimeter precision of sealed resin construction. The R107's low, wide stance and vertical taillight cluster come through with real proportional accuracy, and the soft-top mechanism, whether shown up or folded, is rendered with enough mechanical logic to survive close inspection rather than looking like a molded afterthought.
An Early SL in a Mercedes Convertible Lineage
Because Mercedes sold the R107 from 1971 through 1989 with only incremental changes, an early 1972 example like this one represents the platform in its purest, least compromised form, before US-market bumper regulations added bulk to later cars. It sits naturally alongside the R107's W113 "Pagoda" predecessor or its R129 successor in a Mercedes roadster chronology, and the dark blue finish gives it enough visual weight to anchor a shelf grouping rather than disappear next to brighter contemporaries.
