ICM
Jeffry Fontaine:
Thomas Hofmann has uploaded images of the kit contents and a brief description (German language) of the ICM 1:35th scale Mercedes L1500S LLG (Leichtes Löschgruppenfahrzeug) Light Firefighting Truck (kit number 35526) to modellversium.de.

Correct me if I am wrong on this, the L1500 truck body/chassis was the basis for many specialist vehicles for the German armed forces during WW2 so with minimal modification you could use this kit as a starting point for any number of variants. Nice to see a civil use vehicle from that period in scale with most armor model subjects. Looking at the way the kit parts are laid out it might not take much effort to come up with a nice little 4X4 AWD overlander hunting vehicle for a rich socialite on safari? Make a command vehicle with several radios and seating for the headquarters staff officers and strap hangars that comprise most formations real or fictional.
All you need is your imagination and the desire to not follow the instructions provided in the kit. :)

Now there's a cool idea! :) Needs a leopard or zebra hide paintjob, of course. ;)

For those of interest, ICM has released a number of kits of cars and trucks. These are some great kits. I got one truck kit that has almost a whole second kit left over. All I need is a set of wheels,a complete cad and front fenders. Oh,and a motor. I'm thinking you may see it in the not distant future. I also got one of the car kits recently,too. I can't decide whether to make it into a hotrod with a flame paint job or a restored civilian car. 1/32 scale hotrod kits are available from Linburg so modifying parts aren't going to be a problem.
