SCHUCO

Series – JUNIOR LINE – EXCLUSIVE EDITION

3319001 – MERCEDES 190 SL

Cabriolet Cream

Scale – 1:43

This is a nicely detailed car model that displays great.

Exclusive Edition of Schuco Jr line was very short time in production with just a handful of models was released.  Now these models are very difficult to find and you can see the price tag up to $30.00.

Models from this line are noticeable better quality compare to rest of models from Jr line.  This model was the first release in the line. I would say that this model is very competitive to Vitesse Group models. 

The Exclusive Edition also has better packaging, it comes with a display case packed in a carton sleeve.

Schuco Junior Line models are developed and produced by a third party. These are decent quality models that are perfect for beginners, enthusiasts of a specific car or a manufacturer.  They displays really well while some models seating on a display shelf will looks like made by much more expensive model makers.  The line has a great price to quality ratio.  In fact for this quality you would expect higher price. But, the mass production of models with huge sale elsewhere in the world allowed the manufacturer to keep price at a low level.

Many models feature opening front doors.

Schuco Jr. line was available in small number on the US market prior 2003, while it was a US Schuco Distributor, since it was not exported in US.  Cleaning my warehouse I’ve found a few boxes with models that you can see on my web site.  These are from 2002 catalog.  Practically all aren’t available any longer.
