Mercedes Benz LPS 1418

[Fourth Protocol]

Hi. New here. Building a Mercedes Benz LPS 1418 from the late 1960's.



Would love to do a 4WS rig like in the pic, but I'm going to take some artistic license and in the interests of my wallet do a 4x4 on a Tamiya High Lift chassis. All the things will open and close.



Going to build out the interior too. Can't find reference pics for the 1418, so I'm going with this:



Recently built a replica of an OM 352 (engine in the Unimog 416). Given that it turned out semi-ok I'm going to attempt an OM 346 for this build.



Found some original promotional reference material for the truck and the engine -



More later tonight.
