Tamiya Mercedes Benz Slr McLaren

The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (HC-24290) captures the presence of one of the most iconic premium super sports cars. Developed through a collaboration between McLaren and DaimlerChrysler, the real SLR combined a front-mounted, AMG-tuned 5.5L V8 with a screw-type supercharger, carbon ceramic brakes and an active rear spoiler. This detailed model reproduces the SLR’s long nose/short deck silhouette with precision and delivers a rewarding, realistic build.

Measuring approximately 195 mm in length, the kit reflects meticulous attention to detail throughout. The bonnet opens on a two-step hinge to showcase the engine’s upper surfaces, including the supercharger and air box. After assembly, the famous gullwing doors operate smoothly on metal-shaft hinges, with metal stays that let you display the doors securely in the open position. Inside, finely moulded seats and dashboard controls convey the SLR’s luxurious cockpit, while exterior accents such as the front bonnet fin and horizontal fins in the wing vents are recreated using separate parts for crisp definition.

For a premium finish, the kit includes both gloss and matte metal-plated parts along with metal transfers for sharp, realistic lettering and emblems. A die-cast under panel adds heft and authenticity, and Tamiya’s renowned parts fit ensures an accurate, confidence-inspiring assembly and a display-ready result.
