Default Mercedes Actros 2558 6x2

I started a Mercedes build for about a month ago, that old SK from Tamiya is a little to old for my taste so i bought the Actros cab from RigidRC.

Started with the chassi, just a small euro version with 2.90m/9.5ft (1:1 scale) in wheelbase.





Got to have some parts.



Fenders and sideskirts is all in one piece made of styrene.









Light is very important, 455 LED's from LED-Switch.



This week the cab came in, it is better then i have expacted.







Biggest miss is this "frontplate" that is a bit straight.



Lover front,



that i cut some more holes in.



A little paint is nice.



Some aluminium parts was in the kit. Can't figure what the big "L-pieces" is for?

The cab cost 370 Euro.

I also think its to the cab but i can't figure out where to put them, there isn't any obvious place for them i am really confused right now

Well i think i just make my own mount of the cab, probably much less head scratching

Lovin this build Actros, looking great already. That's a really mean looking cab, much more modern than the old Tamiya one.

I'm kinda assuming he may have a little fear of the dark? The truck does look great though.
