Tamiya 1/24 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Full View: Classic Engineering on Display

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL is a 1954 classic that bridged racing technology and road use, admired for its elegant coachwork and engineering. Tamiya's 1/24 Full View kit captures the car's form while offering clear body panels so modellers can inspect the internal framework and engine layout.

Full-View Design Highlights Internal Detail

This edition adapts Tamiya's earlier 300SL kit by incorporating transparent body sections that reveal the multi-tubular space frame and the inline-6 engine angled at 45 degrees. The clear parts allow detailed presentation of chassis and engine components.

Why the 300SL Remains Significant

With its gull wing doors and lightweight construction, the 300SL set benchmarks for sports cars of the era. Its pioneering use of direct fuel injection gave it a technical edge, and the Tamiya model mirrors these traits in miniature for enthusiasts and collectors.
