1/48 Bandai Mercedes Benz L3000S 3 Ton Cargo Truck - Bagged
Plastic Model Kit
Very rare and still in the factory sealed bag. 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. This is the standard L2000S and it 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. After this very brief availability, Bandai never reissued them again. Never started. This kit and the paperwork is still in the factory sealed bag. I have listed this kit under Bandai; however, there is no manufacture listed on the visible paperwork. At one point Academy and then Mauve obtained many Bandai molds and reissued several of the famous 1/48 Pin Point armor issue. This could be a reissue from Mauve or Academy.
