Default Re: Tamiya mercedes with Leimbach crane

I really appreciate you mentioning it anyway- it could have Ben just the thing I was looking for so thanks!

It is not the easiest kit to assemble, mainly because the instructions are all in German and are a series of photographs rather than drawings/ diagrams to show you what to do, so trial and error and guessing we're used quite a bit. If it ad the same quality instruction manual that Tamia produce for their kits it old be much easier!

It comes with a plate that clamps the crane and legs directly to the chassis pretty effectively, although I did have to modify a few things to get them to fit properly.


Wolfgang, thanks for the comment, I like the old style of trucks nod really like your models, especially the body with the wood and brass sides, I hope to do something similar for my truck.
