Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Mercedes-Benz Atego Fire Pumper - By Dirk Wieczorek


This Mercedes-Benz Atego Pumper-Tanker was built in 2005 with a Magirus body and crewcab by Lohr. The model is based on a Herpa MB-Atego Pumper. The cab was cut and built new behind the front doors. The outside of the crewcab is a 0,25 mm plasticsheet which is stabilized with a 0,75 mm sheet behind it. With this trick it was possible to place the windows very much to the outside. The body was also built with 1 mm plasticsheets. The decals were made by Dirk.
