Mercedes Actros MP03 4x2 with Schmitz Cargobull Tipping TrailerPresented here is the 1:50th scale Mercedes Actros MP03 2-axle tractor with 3-axle Schmitz Cargobull tipping trailer from Conrad.
The dump body can tip to a very reasonable angle and the multi-stage hydraulic cylinder operates smoothly while maintaining enough friction to allow the body to remain raised without dropping down. The tailgate pivots as the body raises with safety markings printed on the rear surface. The rear of the trailer has a safety bar integrated into the frame end with painted rear facing light housings. A pair of stabilisers are located just in front of the wheels and they can be extended to support the trailer weight when it is not connected to the tractor unit. The side surfaces of the dump body have ridges cast into them which are subtle with printed Schmitz Cargobull logos. The simple frame structure of the trailer houses three axles which are mounted to pivoting arms allowing some suspension simulation. The single tyres have a defined radial tread pattern moulded into the surfaces with silver hubs and black centres while plastic wheel covers are fixed to the frame above each wheel. The model is supplied with a Mercedes Benz Actros MP03 4x2 tractor which is finished in a dark metallic blue colour scheme.
