Mercedes Actros SLT
Hi...
3 Years ago I started to plan the build of a Mercedes SLT Truck Here's a sample picture:  The build started in October 2015, I bought a Actros 1851 Kit and some additional parts like axles and frames.  The plan was to create the most parts on my own.

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
The next huge milestone: The tower
To join the parts of the tower I decided to create "shoes" for the connection points. They have more stability.           Placed on the frame    The holdings for the side plates

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
After some test with the steering and some searches in the internet I decided to lift up the first fender by 5mm so that the tire no longer touches the fender if weight lies on the frame.

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
Next step with a lot of work, I wanted to change the mirror holdings. The solution of Tamiya is a real joke.
So I started to model some brass.
