Experience the heart-pounding moment from “The Calculus Affair” with the Mercedes diecast model, a fleeting yet crucial character in Tintin’s thrilling adventures. This 1/24 scale collector’s item, part of the Moulinsart collaboration with Hachette, brings to life the moment when Mr. Cutts’ Mercedes becomes Professor Calculus’ savior, averting a potential abduction by the Bordurians.

In 2008, Moulinsart and Editions Atlas introduced a collection of diecast 1/43 scale model cars, featuring all seventy vehicles from Tintin’s escapades. Now, this new collaboration with Hachette unveils a series of 1/24 scale models – larger, more opulent, shining like the sun, with wheels that turn to captivate collectors and fans alike. The meticulous attention to detail ensures that every nuance from Hergé’s masterful pen is faithfully represented.

The Mercedes diecast model, a standout from “The Calculus Affair,” is presented in a Perspex case adorned with an adventurous design. Each model stands at the box dimensions of 26 cm x 12 cm x 12 cm, emphasizing the larger scale of this captivating collection.

Crafted from painted metal with resin and plastic components, these diecast cars stand as artistic tributes to Hergé’s legacy. The bilingual brochure in French and English enhances the collector’s experience, providing deeper insights into the historical and artistic significance of each model. This Mercedes model is a testament to Tintin’s narrow escape and the attention to detail in capturing Hergé’s iconic scenes.
