TAMIYA 1/24 MERCEDES-BENZ 300SL

Tamiya 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

Tamiya's 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL recreates one of the most celebrated sports cars of the 1950s. From its iconic gull-wing doors and elegant bodywork to its complex tubular space frame and fuel-injected inline-six engine, this detailed plastic model captures the character of an automotive legend.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was introduced as a production sports car in 1954, following the success of its racing prototype. Its lightweight tubular space frame necessitated the famous gull-wing doors, while its 3-litre inline-six engine featured pioneering direct fuel injection. Tamiya's model faithfully reproduces these defining features in 1/24 scale.
