The Mercedes-Benz 540K remains a benchmark of pre-war automotive craftsmanship, celebrated for its stylish coachwork and formidable engine. Italeri's 1/24 kit aims to reproduce the car's essential features, offering a historically inspired subject for model builders and collectors.
Built between 1936 and 1939, the 540K stood out for its engineering and luxury. The original car used an 8-cylinder, 5.4-litre engine and could reach roughly 170 km/h. Weighing approximately 2300 kg, it combined presence with performance for its period.
The kit includes accurately moulded parts and a clear assembly sequence. With careful painting and finishing, the completed model becomes an eye-catching addition to any vintage car display.
