Newsletter 556: 300SLR

MFH has chosen for its new reference at 1/12 scale what has currently become the most expensive car in history, the Mercedes 300SLR Coupé, of which only 2 units were manufactured!! (one with a blue interior and another with red interior). Once assembled, the model allows the opening and closing of the front and rear hoods, as well as the doors with their "gullwing" opening mechanism, allowing a complete view of the detailed interior and the mechanical part. The kit also includes the tires with the manufacturer's marks in relief, and some beautiful spoked wheels to be built one spoke at a time to achieve maximum realism.

The Audi Sport Quattro S1 used different front grilles, where the main difference was in the size of its rectangular headlights. The unit used in the 1986 Olimpus Rally mounted the grill with the "small" headlight configuration, so the Nunu kit comes with rectangular headlights with a size of 6.5 x 4mm, while most works versions sponsored by HB used the "big" headlights. This grill developed by Reji Model makes it possible to correct this detail, mounting headlights that have a size of 9 x 5.5 mm to scale.
