This thread is dedicated to the Mercedes-Benz 600 (internal code W100) from Wiking and will eventually list every variation ever produced.
For more information about the real 1/1 model, please visit the following site: Wikipedia MB 600
Wiking's model is based on the SWB (short wheel base) version and features front and rear suspension (besides the 600, only two more Wiking models feature front and rear suspension - the Opel Admiral and the Chevrolet Malibu).
The model is said to be 1/90 scaled and was first released in 1966 in black, gray and blue (base code 15a). Then the model disappeared in 1970 and was re-released in 1976 with a new base code (156) and then disappeared again in 1980.
All models produced after 1978 have a rectangle on the rear shelf.
In 2004, after a 24 year absence, the 600 re- emerged in the Wiking lineup as part of a 4 car set. The next standard-lineup releases were in 2010 (blue) and in late 2011 (green).
Since its resurrection in 2004, the 600 was released numerous times as a special edition for several companies and various occasions.
I'm now going to list every version, beginning with the oldest one.
(Year of first release // Colour // Base Code // Checklist for me to see what versions I'm missing)
Each version will get its own post down below including more details of every release.
