Hi there,
I was thinking to start one of the resin kits of the Unimog S404. Therefore I would like to ask you if there are any pictures of the real vehicle available??? I googled all around, but could not find any interesting ones.

I am especially interested in vehicles from the Lebanon theatre or from any conflict from Africa.

Thanks in advance

Jiri

hi there,
On the Das Werk website, one of the resin manufacturer of the 404, you'll see pics of it in Beyrouth.


Best,
