It authentically represents the look and feel of model kits from the wild sixties. As a strictly limited edition, this model is aimed specifically at collectors and nostalgics who appreciate the original charm of plastic model making. Packaged in the classic 1964 design, this kit is a highlight for any display case and a tribute to the golden era of British roadster design.
Features
- Historical forms: Built with the "tooling" from 1964 – experience model making as it was over 60 years ago.
- Collector's gold: Due to its limited production and historical significance, this kit has a particularly high collector's value.
- Retro packaging: The set comes in the original artwork and packaging design of the first release from 1964.
- Challenging: Despite the compact scale of 1:32, this model is classified as Level 5, as handling historical kits requires experience and craftsmanship.
- British flair: The 2+2-seater captures the lines of the original, which at the time shone with its modern design and low weight.
Building this MGB Roadster is a journey into the past. Unlike state-of-the-art CAD-designed kits, this classic demands true model-making skill. You'll be grappling with the idiosyncrasies of a 1960s kit, which is what makes it so appealing to connoisseurs. The result is a charming 12.4 cm long model that embodies the spirit of a bygone era.

Background information
The MGB was a milestone for MG. When it was launched, it featured a very modern, self-supporting body for its time, making the car lightweight and torsionally rigid. This enabled remarkable performance and made the roadster one of the most popular sports cars of its era. Revell now preserves this spirit in an authentic reissue.
