Lee Drennen’s Italeri Mercedes Benz L 3000 German Truck

[Guest]

any idea of the overall size (w & l)?

This appears to be an L 3000 A, which was 6255 × 2350 × 2600 mm IRL (per Kraftfahrzeuge und Panzer der Reichswehr, Wehrmacht und Bundeswehr by Werner Oswald, 17th edition, 2004). In 1:35 that would be 179 × 67 × 74 mm.

Hi Lee,
Hope this build can break your mojo stalemate For you !
Think most of us suffer from lack of interest at some point, I find it best to just go with it and have a break, its only a hobby after all not a career.

Hope it goes together well Lee.

Thanks - makes life easier, as I'll just do a 'footprint' of 180x68 to see whether to have one or a 'maultier' :thumb2:

Well Rick you was right a easy build thought I would try to tidy up this build and get it done. All I have to do now is install the Engine and paint some details. I did a little mock up for some pics [ATTACH]427818[/ATTACH][ATTACH]427819[/ATTACH][ATTACH]427820[/ATTACH]
