Mercedes LP1620 Pritschenzug Fern Schnell Gut Minichamps 1:43
Mercedes LP1620 Pritschenzug Fern Schnell Gut Minichamps 1:43
New arrival
1/6
Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Mercedes LP1620 reproduces a flat-fronted 1965 articulated flatbed lorry towing a drawbar trailer in a long-distance haulage livery. Related in cab tooling to the LP1624 elsewhere in this range but built to a different chassis rating, it adds variety to a themed flat-front Mercedes fleet.
About the Mercedes LP1620 Pritschenzug Fern Schnell Gut Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Mercedes LP1620 reproduces a flat-fronted 1965 articulated flatbed lorry in a period long-distance livery, its sealed body echoing the flat-front cab design covered elsewhere in this range on the related LP1624. A related but distinct cab tooling and load configuration for anyone building a flat-front Mercedes fleet.
The flat-fronted LP-series covers more than one Mercedes model in this range, and this LP1620 sits close to but genuinely distinct from the LP1624 found elsewhere in a typical haulage collection, wearing a period long-distance haulage livery across its towed flatbed and drawbar trailer combination.
The LP1620: A Related Flat-Front Cab, a Different Load
Chassis Rating and the Pritschenzug Configuration
Mercedes-Benz's LP-series spanned several chassis ratings beneath the same flat-fronted cab family, and the LP1620 sits at a slightly different point on that scale from the LP1624 castings found elsewhere in a typical haulage range, though the two share the same cabover styling: a flat, upright front, a vertical grille, and boxy wing mirrors that replaced the rounded bonnets of the previous decade. This particular casting is built as a Pritschenzug, a tractor coupled to a drawbar-towed flatbed trailer, doubling load capacity in the same way the older round-nosed L315 combinations did.
A Long-Distance Livery Across Two Units
The livery reads as a long-distance haulage scheme, the kind of branding period operators used to signal fast, reliable delivery over distances rather than local cartage, and the lettering runs continuously across the cab doors and both flatbed sections so the combination reads as one coherent fleet identity. The flat windscreen and vertical grille give this cab a noticeably squarer face than the round-nosed L315 elsewhere in this range, and Minichamps keeps those edges sharp rather than softening them into a more generic shape.
Long-Distance Livery and Flatbed Load Detail
Tampo Print and Drawbar Coupling
The long-distance livery on this LP1620 is tampo-printed across both the tractor's flatbed and the towed trailer's load area, and the lettering holds its edges cleanly enough to read at a glance rather than blurring into an indistinct smear, the standard test for whether a printed graphic justifies the extra cost over a plain colour scheme. Both flatbed sections carry the familiar wooden-plank texture and raised side rails seen across Minichamps' other flatbed castings, and the drawbar coupling between the two units sits level rather than sagging.
Comparing Print Quality Across the Range
Being a sealed, one-piece body throughout, nothing on either the tractor or the trailer opens, and the exterior carries the full weight of the quality argument: shut lines around the cab doors run as single, consistent grooves, and the paint break between the cab colour and the flatbed's natural wood-effect finish is clean rather than smeared. Comparing this casting's print quality against the Dachser-liveried LP1624 elsewhere in this range is a reasonable exercise for anyone deciding between the two, since both share the same tampo-printing approach and registration accuracy.
Building a Run of Flat-Front Mercedes Artics
Collecting several flat-fronted LP-series lorries side by side, each wearing a different haulage livery, builds a more convincing fleet impression than any single casting can manage on its own, and this LP1620 fits that strategy as a distinct chassis rating and load configuration from its LP1624 relatives found elsewhere in the range. The drawbar flatbed arrangement also echoes the earlier round-nosed L315 combinations covered by other castings, giving a chronological collection a clear way to show how the same basic load-doubling trick survived the shift to flat-fronted cabs. For anyone assembling a themed run of Mercedes haulage liveries rather than a single hero piece, this LP1620 adds genuine variety instead of a near-duplicate of stock already on the shelf.
