The base kit for this conversion was the Wiking Bussing 8000 single axle truck. The sleeper cab came from a Brekina kit that was robbed of other components. The inspiration came from a photo (included) found on a WWII historical website. The hood was removed and grafted onto the sleeper cab and the frame was extended and another axle added. The longer cargo bed came from the spares box. Scratchbuilt items include rear fenders, exhaust system, lollipop mirror, license plates, and hood side vents and latches. Additional details are head and tail lights from MV Products, fuel filler neck from Details West, and wheels and tires from Promotex. Paint is Model Masters Panzer Grey and decals are from TL. The trailer is a leftover with a scratchbuilt chain box and spare wheel/tire added.
