Miniature Mercedes-Benz 300 SL - classic engineering in scale

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL earned its place in automotive history thanks to pioneering engineering and striking gullwing doors. Debuted in 1954 as part of Mercedes-Benz's racing and road car development, its 3-litre straight-six and distinctive styling made it highly sought after. Production ran until 1957 with around 1,400 units made, which contributed to its collectible status.

What this Tamiya 1/24 kit delivers

Tamiya's 1/24 rendition captures the character of the 300 SL with practical build features. The model includes working gullwing doors and a bonnet that lifts to show a detailed engine compartment. Metal-plated transfers and newly designed tyre components contribute to an authentic look, and the kit shows the car's tubular space frame layout for added realism.

Beginners can attempt it but should expect several small parts and precise painting. Some modelling experience will make assembly easier.
The kit comes with newly designed tyre parts that fit the supplied wheels, though minor sanding can improve fit and realism before painting.
Metal-plated transfers and parts enhance the model's visual accuracy, giving a convincing chrome look for trim and badges when applied carefully.
