Default 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.

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.

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.
