models & life 模型坊

在1960年代，Mercedes-Benz 開始研發一系列運動型汽車，這些車型以高性能為特點，同時非常注重符合不斷擴大的「豪華」車市場需求的駕駛體驗。「SL」這個縮寫（代表 Sport 和 Leicht，即運動和輕量化）用來標識這些多年間不斷演化並推向市場的車型。

在1970年代，這家德國汽車集團推出了 R107 和 C107 系列，包括敞篷車（Roadster）和雙門跑車（Coupé）版本，迅速取得了顯著的商業成功。基於 C107 平台，「旗艦」級雙門跑車 SLC 500 應運而生，其生產歷程持續了近十年。SLC 500 配備了一台排量為 4973cc 的引擎，能輸出 237 匹馬力，成為 1970 年代「高級市場」的基準車型。

在那個時代，梅賽德斯 SLC 500 與一些具有代表性的經典車型共同出現，這些車型至今仍深受收藏家和經典車迷的喜愛與追捧，並成為他們想像與夢想的象徵。

During the 1960s Mercedes-Benz began development of a line of sports cars which were characterized by high performance and also great attention to aspects of motoring that would meet the requirements of the expanding "luxury" car market sector. The acronym SL (Sport and Leicht), identifies the various models that over the years have evolved and been presented to the market. In the 1970s, the German automotive group launched the R107 and C107 series in the Roadster and Coupé versions, which went on to quickly achieve notable commercial success. Arising from the C107, the "top of the range" coupé SLC 500 evolved, the production of which, lasted for almost a decade. With a 4973cc engine capable of delivering 237 HP the Mercedes SLC 500 became a benchmark for the "premium" market, which in the 1970s, also saw the origin of some iconic models, which even now, capture the imagination and dreams of many collector and classic car enthusiasts.

ITALERI No.3633 Mercedes-Benz 500 SLC 作品

修改的部位非常多：

車門改成可開啟

車門有磁吸，避免車門關不闔

引擎蓋可掀開並且修正邊緣

引擎蓋的雨刷出水口重新製作

引擎室增加細節：水箱、電線、電池、汽笛

大燈和尾燈增加燈座

儀表板修正

中控台修正

冷氣出風口修正

座椅微修正

追加安全帶

B柱和C柱修改，並且將大型透明套件改良

輪框改用AMG的經典大餅框

由於變成開門作法後，駕駛側後照鏡有點偏移，所以離原版樣貌有點脫節

整體車色彩亮銀色金屬光澤，加上修長車身線條流暢，搭配內裝的紅色座椅與銀色車身的對比更是引人注目，突顯了豪華感。

Modifications made to the Mercedes-Benz SLC model:

• Doors made operable: The car doors can now open.
• Magnetic locks for doors: Added magnets to ensure doors close securely.
• Hood adjustments: The hood can now be opened, and its edges were refined for better fitment.
• Windshield washer outlets: Redesigned the washer outlets on the hood.
• Engine bay detailing: Enhanced details including the radiator, wiring, battery, and horn.
• Light fixtures: Added lamp bases for both the headlights and taillights.
• Dashboard improvements: Corrected and detailed the instrument panel.
• Center console revision: Refined the central control area.
• Air vents: Updated and corrected the air conditioning vents.
• Seats adjustments: Slight modifications to the seating.
• Seatbelts added: Included seatbelt details for a realistic touch.
• B-pillars and C-pillars: Modified and improved the large transparent parts in this area.
• Wheels: Replaced the wheels with the classic AMG monoblock rims.
• Driver-side mirror adjustment: The door-opening functionality caused slight displacement of the driver-side mirror, resulting in a deviation from the original design.

Overall aesthetic:
The car features a bright metallic silver body color with a sleek, streamlined silhouette. The striking contrast between the silver exterior and red seats in the interior amplifies the sense of luxury and elegance.

雖然能開啟車門，但是A柱下方儀表板邊緣內襯沒有辦法做得跟真車一樣，因為這點非常困難。起初沒打算做成活動開車門的，是因為這台車車門沒有窗框，非常適合作活動車門才去改造，

也利用此機會去磨練出高度專業與創造力。

English Translation:

Although the car doors can be opened, the inner lining at the edge of the dashboard below the A-pillar could not be made to resemble the real car due to the complexity of such detailing. Initially, I had not planned to create functional doors, but because this car’s doors lack window frames, it became an ideal candidate for modification into operable doors.

This project also provided an opportunity to hone advanced skills and unleash creativity to a high degree.
