Pre-pro Mercedes truck attempt

Post by Tinman »

Today, I was digging around looking for some Matchbox stuff that I knew I had but seemed to be missing. Found a bunch of other stuff in the process. One thing I found was this Mercedes truck, I was attempting to copy the pre-production truck on page 77 of Charlie Mack's 2nd edition of his regular wheels pocket size book. I don't have quite a long enough box on the chassis, it's needs a spare tire underneath at the rear and I need yellow hubs and tires instead of black wheels. Oh well, they can't all be winners.

When I was 18, I drove a truck nearly identical to this one to pick up auto parts from another city (except it had a white cab and orange box).
