This model kit is based on Item 24338 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, with the 'Full-View' treatment. The 'Full-View' series features clear body parts which display the model#s interior and allow car fans to enjoy its beauty. The 300 SL was released in 1954, the production sports car version of a phenomenally successful racing prototype from 1952. It featured an elegant body with gull wing doors, plus a lightweight multi-tubular space frame. A 3-liter inline-6 engine pioneered direct fuel injection. Its combination of looks and pioneering power makes it a favorite even in modern times.
