Mercedes and Volkswagen Passat ADAC. Full renovation of Siku No. V319 and Siku No. 1312 models.

The main character of this film is a Mercedes manufactured by Siku on a scale of 1:60, used to tow cars in ADAC colors. This abbreviation stands for both an insurance company and roadside assistance, called yellow angels in Germany. I got this model from my friend Thomas from Germany. I decided to include a Volkswagen Passat Variant ADAC, also a Siku model. I filled in the missing parts of both models and painted them in line with the original ones. I also recreated the decals based on photos I took before the renovation. These are two very interesting models that do not appear very often on the diecast market. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity in the video.

Jako dziecko też miałem Mercedesa LP 608 (V319) 😁 Dziwię się, że oryginalna lina nadal tam jest. (Coś takiego często się „gubiło”... Mówię z własnego doświadczenia 🤣) Jeszcze raz jeden, nie dwa, świetne renowacje. Naprawa tylnego VW jest świetna i ponowne zobaczenie starego Mercedesa w nowej świetności...bezcenne 🤩 Paul, jestem zachwycony, zdecydowanie trzymam kciuki 👍🏼 👍🏼 Dziękuję za udostępnienie 🙏🏼 Tak trzymaj przyjacielu 😉 Życzę miłego weekendu Tobie i Twojej rodzinie, bądźcie zdrowi i zdrowi. Pozdrowienia z latarni morskiej na Łabie. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 I also had the Mercedes LP 608 (V319) as a child 😁 I'm surprised, that the original rope is still there. (Something like that often got “lost”... I speak from my own experience 🤣) Once again one, no two, great restos. The repair of the VW rear is great and seeing the old Mercedes in new splendor again... priceless 🤩 Paul, I'm thrilled, definitely both thumbs up for it 👍🏼 👍🏼 Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏🏼 Keep it up, mate😉 Have a nice weekend to you and your family and stay safe and sound. Greetings from the lighthouse end of the Elbe River. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 Den Mercedes LP 608 (V319) hatte ich als Kind auch 😁 Ich bin hier überrascht, daß das originale Seil noch vorhanden ist. (Sowas ging oft "verloren"... Ich spreche da aus eigener Erfahrung 🤣) Wiedermal eine, nein zwei, tolle Restaurierungen. Die Reparatur des VW hecks ist super und den alten Mercedes wieder in neuem Glanz zu sehen... unbezahlbar 🤩 Paul, ich bin begeistert, ganz klar beide Daumen hoch dafür 👍🏼 👍🏼 Vielen Dank fürs teilen 🙏🏼 Mach weiter so, mein Freund 😉 Dir und Deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende und bleibt gesund und munter. Gruß vom Leuchtturmende der Elbe. 😎👍🏼🇵🇱✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠

Love the work , just one bet of advice ( take it or leave it ) when drilling out the rivets the bit only has to be as big as the shaft of the rivet it will be much less damage to the chassis.

[@jclark2752]

The way you make moulds for your glass makes all parts slightly too big. It puts plastic Over the original. You should keep hollow mould and Pull plastic Inside.

[@PaulRestorer]

it's not quite like that. after the mold is made, the silicone shrinks slightly, when it dries, the resin is poured, and when it dries, it shrinks slightly in the case of models on a scale of 1 to 43, this difference practically disappears

[@jclark2752]

@@PaulRestorer 🤔 Silicone shrinks = hollow spot Bigger… resin shrinks = closer to the original hollow size = still oversized if the plastic goes “over”… I agree it is a Tiny difference, but it would Still seem to be there??? Just a thought… Still Good Work! 😀

My sandbox buddy had the Mercedes with the retractable ramps. The Passat is a way more newer model. Better fit from the time period would be the ADAC Beetle. Which I had. ADAC= Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil Club (general german automobile club) the insurance was ARAG, which had a simular yellow logo.

Pięknie wygląda ten zestaw. Szkoda ze Siku nie wypuszczała takiego zestawu seryjnie. Jak byłem dzieciakiem dostałem od takich dziewczyn z Niemiec, które przyjeżdżały do cioci przepiękny traktor z przyczepą Siku. Była to najlepsza zabawka jaką dostałem. Skręcane koła, masa detali oraz przepiękne kolory. Ten traktor wyglądał jak prawdziwy. Zestaw ten miał numer Siku 3750 ;)
