==A Case Example==

A good vehicle for analysis is the 1923 Benz Diesel Lastkraftwagen 5K3. The truck was notable for being Mercedes Benz's first diesel. The model is five and a half inches long, and made of a sturdy, rather heavy styrene type plastic that seems heavier than the styrene plastic used by [[Aluminum Model Toys|AMT]] or [[JoHanJo-Han]], the American promotional model and kit makers. It is also much more solid than most French [[Minialuxe]] models or early [[Brumm]] carriages and steam vehicles which seemed much more 'spidery' in the use of their plastic.

This model is very tasteful and authentic in appearance and is molded in four different colors; green cab, brown lipped flat-bed, dark gray fenders and rail frame base. The fenders and frame are diecast which lends more weight to the model. It has a realistic gold radiator with black grille and headlights. The headlights are 'lit' with an authentic looking chrome for lenses and higher up, beside the cab on the driver's side, is another light - painted yellow.
