I bought this kit 10€ from older gentleman at truck meet. He had driven these at military.

These were used in sixties and some converted to diesel in seventies because of massive fuel consumption (42 l/100 km).

Kit looks like fairly decent. My first truck build and second car model. Wish me luck😁

In picture ingition leads seam too large but in reality they are ok. That red cable diameter is 0.25mm and it is used in wire wrap test circuits. It is almost impossible to try use any smaller cable.

FYI Sometimes building a simple jig to align it all can be helpful .

Also might be worth looking at the work of Alexander Pedan for some inspiration ?, he's made some great trucks over the years, although been quiet for a while .

Your patience pays off, the engine looks great and the axle is a feast for the eye.

Cheers Rob

thanks🙂. It was challenge to glue everything together whilst also obtain movable steering and rotating rims🧐.
