Mercedes-Benz 1628S


Recommended Posts

Wile my building mojo is in high gear im gonna attempt a WIP for this one.

After discovering my Trailmobile double header vans would not work with my Astro 95 i needed a single drive day-cab to put in front of the Trailmobiles.

This was in the stash so even though it is a odd match for the trailers im gonna do it anyway.

Everything is in a Dawn bath till tomorrow but heres a shot of the box 

Ill try not to write confusing stuff so bear with me if i slaughter the English language along the way

Today i have all the parts cleaned and have started  assembly.

This is the first 8 steps for the frame.

There was minimal flash and mold seems to clean and the frame went together straight and square with no issues

Next will be the engine assembly

 Cool, love the old 1628 trucks. Not a bad kit, but the part I didn't like was the mounting of the wheels to the axles. They where clip on. I will be following your build.  

Gotta say i don't like the wheel axle mount  ,not sure how i will deal with that

More parts on frame and have the engine  and some sub assembly together
