Is there anyone one who could help out a bloke who could not connect to Racepaper or is that the wrong thing? I have made a donation every year I've known about the site and would gladly do so again if I could reach the site.
Please (whine.....whine)

And the models are all available through the Wayback Machine posted above

Thanks, Volker. It has been fun once again. I've got two projects to finish before I start doing a coupe of these

I'm not ready to stop yet, so have begun Model 26. Hope to get a couple more of the cars finished (although I have been unable to get clean print out of the tan Model 31 since my printer keeps scribing a green racing stripe down the middle in spite of repeated head cleaning and alignments and new ink cartridges).

With regard to Model d (Mercedes Benz LS - 1960), what is the gray polyhedron (red arrow) for and what do I do with the octagonal hubs (blue arrow)? Thanks to Laughspace, I can deal with the hubs of the dual wheels, although once again there seem to be some extra parts.

Don,

those are to layer the turning hubs of the truck
make them more 3D

Thanks, Rick. That helps, but do you know what the gray polygonal object is?

Now more questions.

I can see that the gray rectangles make drive shafts to be connected to the central differential (red arrow).

I presume that the red rectangles and red disks blue arrows) make up into cylinders. Fuel tanks? If so, were do they go?

Why are there holes in the axles (green arrows)?

What are the iron oxide red boxes (gold arrows) and where do they go? Note that one of them is half open on one side.

the gray thing i believe to be the receiver for the hitch
similar to this

As for the others, the small boxes, are probably tool chests and they probably are placed at the rear of the truck, on both sides, the main chassis might have markings to indicate placement
the gas tanks would be one to a side, more than likely midships
