Cool! The only other one I know of is the Jaeggermeister. What are the others?

Here's an Alfa in progress. It will have the Martini livery. I wanted to build something simple, but as usual, made more work out of it. Used Studio 27 carbon fiber kit. It is coming together though.

Hi and thanks. The tires were fine - I heard about the issues but these were in perfect condition. I started with the kit version Unimog U 1300L THW . The vehicle on the box art is blue.

Hi Zen. If I were to do it over again, I would use clear acetate for the windshield, as it has some unsightly tabs. And, I would open up the hood to expose the engine. But I just had to say "when" at some point and finish it.

Done

Here's a completed Unimog. Kit is from Revell Germany. Many, many parts. Lots of detail for exterior, interior and chassis. The light/siren bar is made up of 30 individual pieces. The only trucks I build are usually light Ford and Chevy's, so this one was a new experience. A journey for sure, but fun to see it finished. I may be a little befuddled this morning - I think I also posted this in WIP. How do you delete posts if you put them in a place you didn't want them?

Oops. I meant to post this in the Under Glass sections. I'm going to post there - can't figure out how to move or delete this one.

And we're done!!

This light and siren bar has 30 pieces! A lot of detail in this kit.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone.

And more test fittings....

Couple more photos of WIP. The 1:1 truck was the look I was trying to go after. The underside of the bed is comprised of about 15 parts! I have to attach the lights there next. But I'm amazed at the level of detail in the kit. I did a test fit of the cab and bed to see what it might look like. Not glued and the top is not attached yet - but it seems to be coming along nicely.

Hi. Here are some photos of the cab in progress

Hi. The Dakar kit is the one I wanted, but I couldn't find it. I have this one

Usually I build cars - if its a truck usually just something like a Flareside or like that. Having just finished a Pagani, I wanted to move on to something easier. So I picked this Unimog - but was surprised by how detailed the chassis is. Here's my start.

Wow. Very creative and imaginative. There's a little Mad Max meeting Blade Runner in there. Fun to watch.

Modelcarcrazy - you are right!. Brain cramp on my part!

From the Moebius kit. Tamiya dull red - liked color and the flat finish

Posted these in Under Glass too. As I said "Mother of Pearl" this was difficult!

MOTHER OF PEARL! $#@ this was difficult. I kept trying to figure out why the parts didn't fit - its because they don't fit. Or at least I think they want you to build it with all the body parts hinged and open. So, yeah, lots of whittling to try and close some of the gaps between the body panels. I have a couple of detailing things to finish off but man, I've got to give it a rest. Makes me want to do a snap kit next!!

Dan....I just saw yours - man, putting me to shame.

Trying to get a sense for how this will all hang together

Hey Sonny. The carbon fiber is from Scale Motorsport. With a little help from decal solvent, it adheres very well.
