1/48 1500 Academy Mercedes Benz L3000S 3 Ton Cargo Truck - (ex Bandai)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good-
Very rare. In 1977 Bandai briefly issued four 'demonstration kits' to test the market. They were this Mercedes Benz L3000S, German Goliath Demolition Vehicle, Mercedes Benz L3000A House Truck and NSU Kettenrad Motorcycle. After this very brief availability, Bandai never reisseed them again. However, at one point Academy obtained many Bandai molds and reissued several of the famous 1/48 Pin Point armor issue, using original Bandai artwork. This is one of the Academy kits. Features detailed motor, removable hood, detailed chassis with separately molded exhaust, two bar, front and rear suspension and driveline, excellent cab interior detail, two styles of troop seating configuration for the bed, optional 'soft' top for the bed and more. Never started. The parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. Please note that Academy did not issue decals with this kit; there are four paper license plates to cut from the instructions if you wish.
