As the 6x6 model is completed, the other unit (crew-cabbed 6x4) can be re-assigned to its usual 3-line ACTM lowboy (modified Conrad model + homemade trailer):     As a bonus, both tractors in their usual duties (pictures issued from the forum "Photos de Camions No2" "Nicoletti" chapter):  Regards.

In Bundesrepublik of Germany still, a modeler who didn't seem to produce a lot in 1/50 scale (I was only able to find 2 models in that scale: a Magirus-Deutz fire engine and this one. Pity that, on this tractor the fifth wheel is so crude, the model being nicely reproduced otherwise):  Mercedes-Benz LS 315 4x2/2 tractor and Strüver 1-axle tank semi-trailer (M. Geiger models, to be modified),    Regards. Guy

Jamiescotland and kcmtoys, Many thanks for your interest to this topic. I agree with you: the model Berliet GXO oil field truck looks great. Only one 1:1 scale truck was ever built, when Berliet was trying to fight against Kenworth domination in that field, but they didn't succeed.  Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 419 CDI 4x2/2 van with Versalift VTL 145-F access manlift equipment: Siku model,    Regards. Guy
