Italeri 3645 - Retro 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gull Wing Collectors Kit  [IT-3645S]

Italeri 1/24 Mercedes 300 SL Gull Wing: compact classic for model builders

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gull Wing ranks among the most recognisable cars from the 1950s, debuting in 1954. This Italeri 1/24 model aims to mirror the car's elegant proportions and the distinctive gull-wing doors that made it memorable for collectors and modellers.

Historical context and notable specs

When new the 300 SL featured a tubular frame and a 2,996 cc engine, with top speeds recorded near 260 km/h (162 mph). Its door design was a response to chassis layout, and this kit references those engineering choices for authenticity.

Why builders value this kit

Experienced hobbyists will appreciate the detailed mouldings and chromed parts included in the Italeri kit. A colour instruction sheet helps guide construction, and once completed the model displays the luxury and craftsmanship of the original 300 SL.
