I have a set of five hole disc wheels that were made by Clint Freeman back in the early 2000s. They are 1/24 scale, designed for Italeri trucks. I plan to use them and they look very good.
This was originally a Clint Freeman Components engine. I have an original. I appears that the crispness of the parts has worn out. The molds look worn.
"In the meantime I did a little research. Exactly as you said Mercedes appeared on the American market not before the late sixties/earliy seventies with a few medium-duty L-series trucks"
Guest what? I have seen them personally!
