Design & workmanship
The model impresses with its detailed military-style color scheme - in keeping with the specified "military" theme - and is equipped with rotating beacons, as are frequently used in real-life operations. The driver's cab (M cab variant of the ACTROS) shows a precise realization in H0 scale with visible driver's cab and figure. The quality and workmanship are of a high standard: clear contours, clean paintwork and realistic texturing of the vehicle surfaces underline the high standards of this model.

Historical background
In 1996, Mercedes-Benz presented the ACTROS series in different variants - with a modern M cab, powerful drive units (e.g. V6 engines) and as a tractor unit for heavy-duty use. The real-life prototype was used in national and international freight transport by numerous railroad companies and haulage firms.
