Samolot Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Mercedes Zetros in the version of an extreme expedition vehicle was created two years ago. It was supposed to be a model to put on a shelf. Therefore, it has no drive and remote control. However, he is not completely devoid of life. One PF M motor through the gear box drives three different model functions. Winch, side ladder and rear platform with motorcycle and spare wheel. The motorcycle is an old set of 8251 in slightly changed colors, because it perfectly fit in dimensions. The car was based on the Unimog chassis, which was extended, reinforced and supplemented with a few details. The gear box and the engine have also been rebuilt. The cab and body along with the mechanisms were created completely new, in the model of a real vehicle. I tried to keep dimensions and faithfully reproduce the original. Dimensions 68 cm X 20 cm X 30 cm Edited September 19, 2018 by Samolot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gate Posted September 19, 2018 This looks great, if only it was motorized But you have your own reasons there. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zux Posted September 19, 2018 It looks very nice! Lack of motorised driving is actually a good thing sometimes! It allows you to play around and show off the model quite quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

agrof Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) An expedition truck? What I especially like, that it is both hands-on and motorized model. Best fun! Forgot to praise the aesthetics... now I did, I guess. Edited September 21, 2018 by agrof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not have this model anymore and i prefer to build models than to create instructions for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
