Mercedes MP3 Ghost Busters edition


Recommended Posts

Ok, so there was never a Ghost Busters Edition of this truck, I got to the end of the build and the spot on the cab looked empty. So, I browsed my extra decals and these just jumped out at me.

So, here it is, it is build box stock minus the extra roof top and side deflectors. I wanted this to look like a working truck, not a show truck. So, the bumper and grill area are grey, like the grey plastic of the lower trim trucks. No chrome, no flashy paint, just what a normal guy in Britain would drive every day.

I did a very light weathering on the frame, mostly to show details. The cab fit on this this was one of the worst I have seen. I played and played with it to get the cab to be able to tilt, but no can do, so I took pictures with the cab off of the engine, and with the cab on.

This was a RoG version, but it is the same truck as the Italeri offerings. If you want a good challenge, this is it. I normally enjoy Italeri truck builds, but this on fought me the whole way. Even the paint gave me issues. I painted the white, then the red, then clear. Once the clear hit the red, it all wrinkled. I had to strip and redo the red. Oh well. It was still fun and that is why we do this to ourselves.

Enjoy
