The Mercedes 450 SLC carried both road presence and rally-ready tweaks into competition. Italeri's 1/24 model reflects the Bandama 1979 specification, offering modellers a compact but accurate rally subject to assemble.
The kit emphasises the modifications that transformed the coupe into a rally contender. Included elements mirror the competition build, such as an internal roll-bar and parts designed to represent lightweight metal trims and reinforcements.
As a display piece, the Italeri 450 SLC appeals to collectors of classic motorsport models. Its period styling and rally-specific touches make it suitable for shelves or themed collections focusing on late 1970s rallying.
