Why the roof has different shape on the stock truck and yours actually has it right? Or I see things?

@Dotec The easiest way to keep the MP0 and Mp1 apart are the engines. The original Actros or sometimes called Mp0 came with engines like this: xx31, xx35, xx40, xx43, xx48, xx0053, xx57.

The thing was that the gap between the most moperful V6 and the least powerful V8 have been pretty big and many costumers wanted a more powerful V6 but didnt want to pay the extra charge for a V8. So with the first "facelift" which most peaple call MP1 came the xx46 along. With this engine its pretty easy to keep both apart because it was available for the MP1 only.

@Dotec Lovely stuff. And I have one suggestion, that you could move down the wheel dummies for the SLT variant to make the ground clearance a bit higher. That way it would fit the 385/65 and 315/80 tyres better, which afaik is the norm for heavy-duty trucks.

Nice work! The blinkers look different between the MP0 and MP1. MP1 has seperate blinkers and MP0 combined. Or is this a coincidence?

btw @ActrosMP3 what you told there about the MP0 MP1 and MP2 & MP3 is pretty cool and intresting, but from what i see from my self,
i see now MP2 & MP3 Actros that are in europe got exported to middle east, (mostly arabian countries) i see these export trucks mostly at bulgarian and turkish border, and also sometimes in bulgaria,
last year (2020) august, when i was turning back to belgium from turkey with car, when we was at border i saw at the trucks section lots of trucks for export mostly were mercedes trucks this hurts me
actually to see but.. i took photos and also see at youtube videos, the arabians prefers MP2 & MP3 than MP4 with time the second and third generation of actros wil dissapear in a few years of european street..
