Revell 1/32 Mercedes-Benz SSKL Scaled Plastic Model Starter Kit

The Revell Mercedes-Benz SSKL Scaled Plastic Model Starter Kit provides a detailed replica of a historic 1931 racing car. Builders can begin construction immediately because the required acrylic paints, a paintbrush, and liquid glue come packaged directly inside the box. Recreating the vehicle allows hobbyists to explore intricate technical features such as true-to-original spoke rims and an openwork weight-saving frame. Having all necessary materials in one convenient package makes the kit an ideal option for intermediate hobbyists.

Mercedes-Benz developed the SSKL as the definitive evolution of the successful S series, with the name translating to Super-Sport-Short-Light. To reduce weight and maximise speed, factory engineers took the radical step of drilling holes directly into the structural frame. The massive 7.1-litre six-cylinder engine produced 300 horsepower when the mechanical compressor engaged. Rudolf Caracciola drove this powerful vehicle to a historic victory at the 1931 Mille Miglia, overcoming well-supported factory teams to secure one of the greatest triumphs in motorsport history.
