Gee whizz Scottie, you've started already and run into the MìniArt twighlight zone. :smiling6:
Apologies for being late, brought my own bean bag. There was one actual displayed at Shizuoka but I paid little attention to it but noticed the funny over hang of the canopy over the two sides of the front cab. I think I may have a group photo with it...let me check.
If you're closing up and not showing the engine, just add a piece of plastic to hold it in place if you can't find the locating plug. We're not going to see it anyway.:smiling3:
Cheers,
Richard

Cheers Tim.
Thanks John
Thanks Jim lol
No worries mate. I was thinking along the same lines.
Have spent a few hours removing the moulded detail from the car sides and filling with strips of plastic to allow for the etch later.
this was fun to do I thought it was a type of bottle jack but it has a side stand jack already. Any ideas?. It was fun to do it has two bits of plastic and 6 etch parts.
cheers

Cheers Rick just wondered why it carries both.

Paul no doubt being German they considered every possibility.
Hi John,
Unless the screw jack was for the trailer they are towing in this case a piece of artillery

Good point Paul, strange that the bottle jack is in the cab as well, but suppose that was because no side bins.
Rick,
No worries thanks for looking.
Morn Paul,
Off and running again I see! Looking good so far Buddy. I did a some digging and found this little item from the following reference,
Dienstvorschrift D 665/201a
Lastkraftwagen 1,5 t Mercedes-Benz Typ L 1500 S Typ 1500 A
Sonderausrüstung für Winterbetrieb Ausführung 43
Vom 26.06.1943
The kit part doesn't look exactly like the heating unit above, but the location and mount are the same. I couldn't find any reference to a "bottle jack" anywhere. HTHs my friend............

Allen,
Good to see you mate that makes perfect sense, thanks for digging that out.
Now there's a thought.
Allens' information makes sense. It may be that the vehicle used for reference had a jack there in error of the correct item?
The vehicle sides are now added to the floor. Next the hand axe was added. Finally for today one of the upper rifle mounts were added. Each clamp was three parts which were then glued to the back plate and the rod was added from wire. The screws on the outside are 0.5 rivets cut with a scalpel to make the screwdriver slot.
cheers
Scottie

So small Paul, how on earth lol
Would have jumped out of the window with frustration lol
