Novelty 2023: As with the model, the S499.02 model also represents a further development of the legendary “Laminátka”. Both series share the sublime model quality.

The engine room windows above are perfectly flush. A special feature is the edging of the front windows, which is done justice to by separately inserted frames at a scale of 1:87.

Among the lighting functions, the chassis lighting with the delicate lamp lenses is particularly noteworthy.
