1:24 Mercedes Benz SLR722 McLaren 2006, model kit

This 1:24 scale assembly kit captures the Mercedes Benz SLR722 McLaren 2006 with the long hood, compact rear deck and focused supercar proportions that defined the full-size car. The finished model brings those lines into a display format that invites a closer look, especially with opening panels that expose the mechanical and interior detail built into the kit. The SLR722 was introduced in 2006 and took its name from the 7:22am start time of the Moss and Jenkinson car at the 1955 Mille Miglia. Under the opening hood, the model recreates the 5.4L SOHC V8 supercharged engine that powered the original car. The full-size 722 delivered 640 hp and accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, giving useful context for the aggressive vents, body surfaces and performance-focused shape reproduced here. Synthetic rubber tires add a convincing finish at the road contact points, and metal transfers provide sharp manufacturer emblems for the final build. Assembly is required, with a stated assembly time of 600 minutes. On the bench, the kit suits careful painting, fitting and detailing; once completed, the opening hood and doors make it easy to present the engine bay and cabin in a cabinet, on a desk or alongside other 1:24 road-car models.
