Mercedes-Benz Typ 320 (W142) Soft Top is a plastic model vehicle kit in 1/35 scale produced by ICM. The kit represents a German military staff car used during World War II. Vehicles of the Typ 320 series were adapted from civilian luxury automobiles and served as transport for officers and administrative personnel. The model is supplied unpainted and unassembled.

The Mercedes-Benz Typ 320 was originally introduced as a civilian passenger car in the late 1930s. During the war years, several examples were used by military headquarters and command units as staff transport vehicles. Open-top versions allowed easier visibility and communication while traveling between command posts and operational areas.

Mercedes-Benz Typ 320 (W142) – World War II Staff Car

Staff cars such as the Typ 320 were used primarily for command, liaison, and transportation duties. These vehicles transported officers, messengers, and administrative personnel and often appeared in headquarters areas, airfields, and support locations behind operational units.

For modelers: staff cars provide an opportunity to focus on careful body painting and interior detailing. Subtle weathering on tires and lower body panels can help represent a vehicle used on wartime roads while maintaining the appearance of a well-maintained staff vehicle.
