I am so gonna spit in your tea Anyway if the wagon in the top pic is the one you want to model, you need Italeri kit 793 cos the cab on 786 is the original SK one and is wrong in a couple of areas, mainly the grille and windows. You could also use either 734 or 739 but they are both 4 leggers and you'd still have to pillage the Powerliner for the double drive (I have 739 in the stash). Wolfie

I know there are gonna be differances between the two, Im just using the one in the picture for insperation and a rough guide. One thing Ive noticed is the amount of differnaces between units.

Italeri 793 is on ebay as we speak standing at a measly £16 at the moment.

Hi Nick
I have one of those stashed away to try and build as a British Army tractor with King trailor.
One of these days it might get built.
Am watching your build progress on this one Paul

Ayup Nige, I'll have a look through my reference and scan the cover of a book which I think will interest you on German medical vehicles, one of them is a Mercedes tractor unit.
