Italeri 1/16 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Background

Introduced in 1954, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is celebrated for its distinctive gullwing doors and engineering. The original 2,996 cc engine enabled top speeds around 260 km/h (162 mph). The Italeri 1/16 kit captures the car's iconic lines and provides a detailed building experience for scale enthusiasts.

Interior Accuracy and Fit

The kit reproduces the cabin with close attention to the dash and seating layout. The engine bay is modelled to reveal the mechanical arrangement, giving modellers a realistic snapshot of the original's engineering.

Movable Elements and Display

This build offers steerable wheels, rubber tyres and opening gullwing doors plus an opening bonnet and boot. Those functional parts enhance display options and allow viewing of interior and engine detail.

Is this kit suitable for a first full car build?

It is best tackled after a couple of simpler kits. The parts are precise but demand patience with painting and small assemblies.

Can I add extra detail parts to the engine bay?

Yes, the engine bay offers space for aftermarket wiring and hoses if you prefer to enhance realism. Small photo-etched or wire bits are common upgrades.

How should I store the finished model?

Keep it away from direct sunlight and dust, ideally in a display case. Gentle handling is advised for opening doors and panels to avoid stress on hinges.

Do the decals include registration details?

Decals are included for the model's markings. Check the instruction sheet for placement; trimming and careful application yield the best finish.
