Responsibility details are not available.
An unassembled plastic kit of the interwar racing car Mercedes-Benz SSKL in 1:32 scale from the German manufacturer Revell. The Starter Kit designation places the model in the starter range intended for beginners, with which the manufacturer usually encloses basic accessories for building and painting. The exact contents of the package are not stated in the available data. In this range the 1:32 scale is smaller than the usual automobile 1:24, so the model comes out compact and the number of parts is correspondingly lower.
The abbreviation SSKL stands for Super Sport Kurz Leicht. The car came about at the beginning of the 1930s as a lightened version of the SSK type: the frame was lightened with a series of holes for the sake of weight, and the car kept the inline six-cylinder engine of about seven liters with a mechanical supercharger that engaged only at full throttle. It was one of the last great racing cars of the old school, with a long hood, exposed wheels and a row of exhausts led out of the side of the hood. The best-known success of the SSKL is the victory in the Mille Miglia in 1931, achieved by Rudolf Caracciola.
A body of this type lives on gloss and on the contrast of polished parts. Before painting, level the mold parting seams on the hood and the fenders, apply a primer and spray the paint in thin coats. Handle the chrome and the exhausts separately with metallic shades applied to a smooth surface right at the end, because they are hard to mask. Wire wheels and their spokes will take precise, calm brushwork; the frame and the chassis, by contrast, come alive with a fine wash in the recesses. Apply the decals onto a gloss surface and go over them with a clear coat according to the chemistry of the paint you used.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
