Typ 320 (W142) Cabriolet Soft Top - WWII German staff car

The ICM Typ 320 (W142) Cabriolet Soft Top is a 1:35 scale plastic model kit of the classic Mercedes-Benz 320 used as a WWII German staff car. This kit (HC-ICM35542) offers a highly detailed exterior and interior with accurate body and convertible roof geometry. With 146 pieces and a finished length of 141 mm, it delivers an authentic, rewarding build supported by clear assembly instructions and a four-version decal sheet.

The real Typ 320, developed by Daimler-Benz and introduced in 1937, featured a six-cylinder engine of 3.2 litres (later 3.4 litres) producing 78 hp. Offered on short and long wheelbases with various bodies, the Cabriolet was a two-door, four-seat layout with four side windows and a folding soft roof. Frequently seen with Wehrmacht units—sometimes still on civilian plates—the 320 served as a staff car and for transporting senior commanders.
