The two roof position lamps, the 3-points sun visor, the side mirror, the hood handles, etc. All details match with you proposal, andrepa. It's a 1998-today Mercedes-Benz Atego. Is the sunroof a standard equipment? It's not a side of the truck we can see every day ![]() Now, who tries to guess: is "our" model a pre or after 2004 facelift(de) model? ![]() (1997-2004 // 2004-present; Click...) Andrepa, do you think that for the moment we have something to say more than a 1998 Mercedes-Benz Atego truck? Maybe a 7xx, as it seems really the smallest of the "family", no more than a 6.5 ton truck(de)? (I played a bit with the German "Konfigurator" of Mercedes. It seems that today, you cannot order less than a 7.49 ton (8xx) truck. There is inflation even in trucks) ![]() -- Last edit: 2014-03-23 05:26:21 |

Hi eLMeR, great how you described all the detail, as it is unusual perspective, but as a modeler i am used to that POV yes, eLMeR it is the smallest swb, a tipper so 815 Meiller Kipper which actually is 7,49 to the color is very commen with Tippers, while the roof hatch seems standart ![]() Link to "www.machinio.com" -- Last edit: 2014-03-24 17:54:48 |

Hi andrepa! That's the way I like to "work": someone gives a name and/or a clue, so someone else can confirm (or not ![]() ![]() And as a kind of benefit of my curiosity, everybody can redo similar identifications with these details, so it will be done easier next time the same truck will be seen in a movie or tv series... That's what I supposed while looking at some pictures of Atego trucks. A premium car maker making "full options" trucks, why wonder? ![]() -- Last edit: 2014-03-24 20:52:49 |
