Once again Mercedes-Benz has won the top title of "Top Benchmark Brand", in the 2014 readers' choice "Model Car of the Year". "Mercedes-Benz manages the topic of model cars better than any other manufacture", was the judgment of the readers of "Modell Fahrzeug", the largest model car magazine in Germany.

In addition to the overall top award, the Unimog "Paris-Dakar", built by Revell, won first place in Category P (Model, Scale 1:24/25, Commercial Vehicle), as well did the Sauber-Mercedes C9, scale 1:16 built by Kyosho, win Category S (Racing Car, Electro Business). In total, 162 model vehicles in 22 categories were presented to the readers during the selection.

"Like in any sport competition: winning a title is already difficult enough, but to defend it 3 times in a row is even more of a challenge. We are therefore extremely happy to be chosen again by the readers of 'Modell Fahrzeug' to "Top Benchmark Brand" for Model Cars.", stated Christian Boucke, Chairman of the Board of Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH, in response to their 4th consecutive 1st Place Trophy given at the awards ceremony in the Westphalian city of Harsewinkel, Germany. " This again confirms the importance of faithfulness to the original Mercedes-Benz and the great attention to detail evident in our model cars in our collection and our licensed products."
