We are familiar with scale model kits that need to be assembled, painted, and detailed to resemble a real car, providing satisfaction for hobby enthusiasts. However, how often do we come across a kit with a clear body that can reveal the chassis and components inside the car?
Tamiya has released the 1/24 scale “full view” model of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the latest addition to their series of plastic models.
When assembled, this model has a length of 188mm, a width of 75mm, and a height of 53mm. The body of the 300 SL is intricately modeled and can be assembled without painting, allowing you to appreciate and gaze at the details inside.
The iconic ‘gull wing’ doors can also be opened, as well as the front hood. The cabin section is also detailed with sporty seats, gear lever, and instrument panel. Other parts are also quite realistic, such as the suspension, mesh in the front air space, logos, emblems, and rubber tires.
Of course, beneath this clear body, you can observe the tubular chassis frame and the 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine. It is a unique model when assembled.
