Nice conversions on both models Stephan....do you remember what cab you used on the post 1938 model? it seems to have a different shape than the one I used (MB L 325).

Bonjour Rick, la réponse à cette question est simple. La cabine en acier de la Mercedes provient d'un modèle Roco.
L'autre impression vient du fait que les capots des deux modèles ont été rétrécis (car le modèle Wiking est trop large à l'avant). Ils ne mesurent désormais plus que 9 mm de large à l'avant et sont donc également plus étroits de 2 mm à l'arrière.
Voici le troisième modèle de la série, un MB 10000 à empattement court et caisse en bois.

Hello Rick, the question is easy to answer. The steel cab of the Mercedes comes from a Roco model.
The other impression comes from the fact that the bonnets of both models have been made narrower (as the Wiking model is too wide at the front). They are now only 9 mm wide at the front and therefore also 2 mm narrower at the rear.
Here is the third in the series, an MB 10000 with a short wheelbase and a wooden box body.

Hello Stephan, I was unaware the radiator was of incorrect proportions. This makes a big difference in the overall appearance. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
