@ Anthony
Thanks for the kind words and yes that engine is a really nice addition to this vehicle.
@ Cliff
Thanks for the reply. That was what drew me to this picture as well. It's funny as I have seen a lot of pics of these tractors and a lot of them have cabs of some sort but almost none are the same so I guess this was quite common practice
@ Phill
You too thanks for the compliments... It is a fun built so far.
And I also think you are doing yourself a great favour to buy that engine. A: it is a nice kit. B: It is a superenhancement on the kit.
And that cab... It is one of those things you fall in love with instantly. As soon as I saw the wartime pic with the cab I was searching online for an Italeri Mercedes L3000. There was not other option. This version had to be built.
@ Olivier
Merci bien pour les Compliments. I hope that made any sense at all and if not forgive me for molesting your language

You are right... But luckily the month was filled to the brim with activity. I even did some modelling and currently got the Traktor ready for paint. But I can't paint it. As I don't have a functioning Airbrush at the moment. My trusty Revell Flex Masterclass is in dire need of replacement parts for a while and the guy from whom I ordered an H&S Evolution is sadly not making much haste bringing or sending it.
So yeah... Lots of stuff to paint. Not much to paint it with.

Robert,
Fine work.
I have a project in mind using this kit and the LZ Cat 60 upgrade. Your build and parts breakdown is helping a great deal, thanks
