The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was produced in 1954 by the German car
manufacturer and it's a masterpiece on four-wheels for design, elegance
and luxury. The 300 SL, where the acronym stands for Sport Leicht,
(Sport Light), adopted innovative solutions for the time. The Mercedes
2 door coupe had a tubular frame, a front 2.996 cc longitudinal engine
connected to a 4-speed transmission and the rear drive. The maximum
speed of 300 SL was 260 Km/h (162 mph). The real strength of the car,
however, was in its innovative design and the adoption of the
characteristic and eye-catching Gull-wing doors. Even today the
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is an icon of design and style of the period ant
it is a real icon for collectors and fans.
One of the most beautiful automobiles of its time, the Mercedes Benz 540K was built from 1936-39. One unit is still shown in various parts of the world by Mercedes for promotion purposes. The car had a 8-cylinder 5.4 l engine and weighed no less than 2300 kg. Maximum speed was a stunning 170 km/h. Its fuel consumption was 28 to 30 litre for 100 km.

The Special Air Service Regiment is one of the most famous Units in the
British Army, though it is one of the youngest, dating back to 1941.
The short period since the SAS came into being is packed with action,
first in W.W. II and since in many small "cold war" activities in which
Britain has been involved. The SAS has a history of almost continuous
combat action of one kind or another. By the nature of its activities
since W.W. II, when for operational reasons its work has not been
widely publicised, all sorts of legends have grown up - some of them
false- about what it actually does.
In essence, the function of the SAS has not changed greatly since it
was established. It is a small, highly mobile, highly trained force
able to carry out surveillance, reconnaissance or attack missions.
The first use of the name "Special Air Sercive Regiment" goes back to
1940 when it was given to the first troops selected for parachute
training. However the name of this Unit was soon changed to the
Parachute Regiment, forming the backbone of Britain's airborne forces.
It was in the Middle East that Lt. David Stirling, a Scots Guards
Officer serving with No.8 Commando, had the idea of forming a small
"airborne commando", which could strkie at the enemy from behind,
attack supply dumps, airfields, and other important centres, cause the
maximum damage and confusion and then melt away into the desert. The
conception was that the small attack force would be dropped at night,
well clear of the target area, strike, then make good their escape
accross the desert. They would rendezvous with the Long Range Desert
Group and make their way back.
Approval was given for such a force, and Stirling picked volunteers
from Commandos and other Units. The Unit was named "L Detachment SAS,
Brigade", mainly to confuse the enemy, who, knew that this name had
been given to paratroops training in England and might suppose that
parachute battalions had now been sent to the Middle East.
During the summer 1941 the SAS unit undertook intensive training,
particularly in parachuting and desert survival, and experimented with
types of demolition explosive. The first raid, in November, 1941 was
not a success due to high winds and poor weather, which dispersed the
men during the parachute drop.
A more precise way of getting to the target was needed and one obvious
way was to use the L.R.D.G. Trucks as a way of carrying the SAS to a
dropping-off point where they could attack, then rejoin the L.R.D.G.
patrol for return to base. The L.R.D.G. meanwhile carried on their
normal task, the SAS men going as "passengers". A series of very
successful operations followed, and by early in 1942 the SAS had become
a force to be reckoned with.
Stirling, by now Major, designed the Regiment's famous winged dagger
badge with its motto "Who Dares Wins" and this was worn instead of the
badges of the Units from which they had volunteered.
For a series of raids in the spring of 1942 the SAS acquired their own
30 cwt. trucks similar to the L.R.D.G.
In the summer of 1942, the Jeep was available and from then the SAS
acted more independently carrying out many sorties with its own armed
Jeeps. Tamiya Kit MM-133 is a replica of one of the Jeeps, and is
characteristic of the type of raiding vehicle, bristling with guns and
packed with sotres and ammunition, that the SAS has used ever since.
The end of the campaign in the Western Desert saw the SAS become the
1st special Air Service Regiment, and it went on to operate in Italy.
Meanwhile, further Regiments had been raised.
SAS men also aided various partisan forces in Eastern Europe, including
the Albanians. Almost every counter insurgent operation since has
involved the SAS. Training is tought, and the conditions of entry are
extremely stringent.
Up to the early 60's the Jeep remained the principal vehicle, since
then the ubiquitous Land Rover has been employed. Since 1970 the SAS
has used a more refined conversion of the long wheel base Mk II, as
depicted in this kit. This version lacks windscreen and side doors, but
carries mounts for two general purpose machine guns.
Normal crew is three: driver, commander (and front gunner), radio
operator (and rear gunner). Sometimes a fourth man is carried.
3 smoke candle dischargers are mounted at each corner of the vehicle
and special equipment includes a spotlight, pioneer tools, stowage
locers, and a rear tailboard extension which is used to carry stores:
sand channels are another item, but other equipment, such as a radio
set, is fitted depending on operational requirements. With extra fuel
tanks the vehicle has a road range of 1,100 miles and weighs 3 tons
fully stored and equipped. while the Land Rover is the standard patrol
vehicle, SAS Units may employ other vehicles as conditions demand. In
desert operations the SAS Rovers are painted to suit the terrain, a
sand-pink, which has led to the nickname "Pink Panther" being applied
on occasion.
The Lancia Stratos HF is, without any doubts, a reference icon of Italian automotive production during the ‘70s. The Italian sport car, produced for a short period of time, has become famous for its innovative design, its technical solutions and, above all, for the success achieved in rally competitions. Lancia Stratos won, for the 1974, 1975 and 1976 the World Rally Championship and a lot of Italian and European titles. In terms of mechanical lay out, it adopted the 6 cylinders V engine characterized by a displacement of 2,418 cc, and the rear-wheel drive transmission. Its unique and nice design is, even today, an attractive dream for all fans of the automotive history.
