The Mercedes-Benz 300sl joins the 1/24 sports car series as it is considered an all-time classic in the automotive world. The real car began life as a prototype for the german motor giant’s works racing team, taking part in international races, and in 1954 a production version debuted at the international motor show in new york. Despite nominal road car status, the 300sl was still a very racy vehicle and proved popular, particularly in the united states. It possessed a 3-litre engine (hence the 300 in its name), and a highly lightweight body (SL stands for sport Leicht, lit. “light sports”) with striking gull-wing doors. 1,400 cars were produced by the end of its production run in May 1957.
The Tamiya model kit captures the real-life subject down to the working gull-wing doors and complex tubular space frame.

After an absence of 20 years, Kawasaki returned to MotoGP as a works team in 2003 with their first racing bike with a 4-stroke engine, the zx-rr. The 2003 racing season proved difficult, but 2004 saw the arrival of Japanese rider Shinya Nakano and a lot of development progress was made. The 2006 machine featured eye-catching cowl designs and the 990cc inline 4-cylinder engine featuring a unique variable ignition timing system. Ridden by Nakano and randy de Puniet, the lime green machine challenged the top teams for race honours, with Nakano taking 2nd place at round 8 in the Netherlands for his best finish of the season.
