Cheers Tim.The usual cracking detail work on display. Excellent!
Thanks JohnAs always Paul very precise work , that PE support on the steering wheel is a good example of your skill .
Thanks Jim lol
No worries mate. I was thinking along the same lines.Gee whizz Scottie, you've started already and run into the MìniArt twighlight zone.
Apologies for being late, brought my own bean bag. There was one actual displayed at Shizuoka but I paid little attention to it but noticed the funny over hang of the canopy over the two sides of the front cab. I think I may have a group photo with it...let me check.
If you're closing up and not showing the engine, just add a piece of plastic to hold it in place if you can't find the locating plug. We're not going to see it anyway.
Cheers,
Richard
Cheers Rick just wondered why it carries both.Hi Scottie, I believe it is a screw jack for raising the vehicle at the axels, I have seen a similar jack in use on the SdKfz. 250.

Paul no doubt being German they considered every possibility.Cheers Rick just wondered why it carries both.
Good point Paul, strange that the bottle jack is in the cab as well, but suppose that was because no side bins.Hi John,
Unless the screw jack was for the trailer they are towing in this case a piece of artillery
Rick,I checked all the info I have on this vehicle type and found that it was offered in 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive versions......no info on what jack came with what version. Sorry I can't be of more help. Rick H.
Allen,Morn Paul,
Off and running again I see! Looking good so far Buddy. I did a some digging and found this little item from the following reference,
Dienstvorschrift D 665/201a
Lastkraftwagen 1,5 t Mercedes-Benz Typ L 1500 S Typ 1500 A
Sonderausrüstung für Winterbetrieb Ausführung 43
Vom 26.06.1943
View attachment 418204
The kit part doesn't look exactly like the heating unit above, but the location and mount are the same. I couldn't find any reference to a "bottle jack" anywhere. HTHs my friend............
Prost
Allen
Now there's a thought.And there was me thinking that it might have been the drivers thermos flask!
Allens' information makes sense. It may be that the vehicle used for reference had a jack there in error of the correct item?That explains a lot......The idea of two jacks for one vehicle wasn't making much sense. Rick H.
Me too!So small Paul, how on earth lol
Would have jumped out of the window with frustration lol
