I bet Monogram used sime of the tooling from this Benz 540 k!

On his website Tom Daniel says the kit was based on a Mercedes SSK kit Monogram offered at the time, but the SSK had three exhaust tubes coming from the right side of the engine compartment, not two. I know Monogram used existing tooling as a base for the original kit, so you might be right.
