Siku restoration Mercedes 250 W 115 No. V 309. Toy model cast.

The German company Siku introduced the Mercedes 250 model in the W 115 body to the market in 1969. In 1975 there was a re-edition of this model with a changed box and new wheels. To display subtitles in your language at the bottom of the movie, please press C on the computer or the three dots on the mobile phone in the movie. The Siku models had the characteristic fluorescent colored glass, so I had to renew the original glass despite the breakage. The alloy of white metal from which the model was made was very brittle, therefore the roof pillars often cracked. I glued mine with cyanoacrylate glue, which I strengthened with baking powder. The doors of this model were mounted without a spring and had to be renewed separately during painting. To complete the whole, I made a box characteristic for this model from 1975. The number on the box is used according to the new chronology, while the number V 309 was still on the chassis of the car. Thank you for watching the movie, I publish videos with repairing cars on KZbin on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

обожаю реставраторов ютюбишных, они такие разводилы), залил суперклеем трещины, засыпал содой, теперь будет лучше оригинала

[@barsztik]

What gives you the baking powder with glue? Is just fillment or cause some reaction with cyanoacrylate?

[@PaulRestorer]

creates a better bond, fills small areas and speeds up bonding

Sehr gut, wie immer! Wäre cool, wenn du bei den verwendeten Produkten genau schreiben könntest, was du genau verwendest. Beispiel: Sonax. Das ist der Hersteller. War das Lackpolitur oder etwas speziell für Metall, als du die Base poliert hast? Was war das für ein Mittel mit dem du sie Scheibe so schön glänzend bekommen hast?

[@PaulRestorer]

Vielen Dank, das Chassis polieren nehme ich meistens mit Sonax Metallpolitur und lackiere dann das Chassis mit Filzscheiben. Die besten Wünsche
