MCG's 1:18 diecast Mercedes G4 W31 in white reproduces the 1938 six-wheeled cross-country touring vehicle, built as a large, robust open tourer for demanding terrain rather than a conventional road saloon. MCG's diecast build captures its imposing proportions and period detailing at a mid-tier price for a pre-war German display.
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 diecast Mercedes G4 W31 in white reproduces the 1938 six-wheeled cross-country touring vehicle, a large, robust open tourer built for demanding terrain rather than conventional roads. Solid diecast construction captures its imposing proportions, suiting a pre-war German display.
The G4 is one of the more unusual shapes to come out of pre-war Mercedes, a genuinely oversized touring vehicle built more like a light truck than a saloon.
MCG's Diecast Detailing on an Oversized Pre-War Tourer
The G4's long bonnet, upright grille and unusual six-wheel layout, with a driven rear tandem axle, give it a silhouette unlike almost anything else in a pre-war collection, and MCG's diecast reproduces those proportions accurately rather than compressing them to a more standard tourer footprint. White paint sits cleanly across the long, flat bonnet and running boards, and the open cabin, typical of touring vehicles from this era, is detailed with period-correct seating and a folded soft top. Metal construction gives the model genuine weight befitting a vehicle originally built on a heavy-duty chassis, and the spare wheel mounts and robust bumper detailing are moulded with real presence.
A Rare, Purpose-Built Cross-Country Design
Built by Mercedes-Benz in small numbers during the 1930s, the G4 was designed specifically for cross-country capability, with its distinctive six-wheel layout and reinforced chassis intended to handle poor terrain that a standard saloon could never manage. It represents a very different side of pre-war Mercedes engineering to the elegant cabriolets more commonly seen in collections, a genuinely functional, oversized vehicle built for capability first. Its scarcity and unusual configuration make it a subject far removed from typical 1930s touring car fare.
Displaying an Unusual Pre-War Shape
This model earns real attention through sheer novelty of form, and it works best displayed as a standalone piece where its unusual six-wheel proportions can be appreciated fully, rather than lost among more conventional pre-war saloons and cabriolets.
