Italeri 3612 - 1/16 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Collector Model Kit  [IT-3612S]

Italeri 1/16 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing Introductory Overview

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL first appeared in 1954 and is widely regarded for its gullwing doors and engineering advances. Its original 2,996 cc engine helped the car reach top speeds near 260 km/h (162 mph). The Italeri 1/16 scale kit reproduces the styling and proportions of this classic, offering a satisfying build for modellers who value period accuracy.

Detail and Build Quality

This kit aims to mirror the elegance of the 300 SL with finely modelled cabin components including a faithful dashboard and seating. The engine bay is modelled for clarity, giving builders the chance to study the mechanical layout that made the real car notable.

Working Parts and Presentation

The model includes steerable wheels, rubber tires, and opening gullwing doors along with an opening hood and boot. Those movable features make the finished model more engaging on display and allow hands-on inspection of interior and engine details.
