Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
 

At the end of the build I decided to change the tower. The electric parts were moved into the cabin, so the boxes are no longer needed.

So I made some additional parts for the tower.

The paint job started. It was the first time I worked with an airbrush system.

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
 

I don't know what the rack behind the cab does, but it looks great.

That is such a clean looking truck, all those custom details are awesome

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
 

That's what happened in the past.

During some tests without a trailer I found out that there's not enough weight on the rear axles. I do not have a trailer yet, so I searched for an alternative solution.

So I started to build a heavy load platform.

Now the fifthwheel is blocked, so I do need a coupling

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
 

The rack holds additional technique for hydraulic pressure, additional air pressure and a huge fuel tank.

Here's a picture of a standard task

Beautiful work, one of the nicest looking trucks I've seen. Photographed outdoors with the proper background and I don't think you could tell it from the real truck. Thanks very much for sharing the build photos, great inspiration.

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
 

Wow, very good brass working skills. Thanks for the very detailed build pictures, its nice to see how you form the brass, by I think first scoring the brass, then bending?

Re: Mercedes Actros SLT
