Yes, you read that right, a Semi Truck, the year is 1985, the truck has Dakar provenance, having competed in 2 other Dakars. #629, driven by Françoise Morcrette, who was a hairdresser before setting off on the 1985 edition. The truck finished the rally, but was timed out, basically arriving in the bivouac either at night, or just before the next day's stage start.
The two previous rallies saw this truck compete as a 4x4 Box truck, for the 1985 rally, the box was removed, and a fifth wheel was installed, and a trailer was hitched.
The kit consists of 3 sheets, 2 parts pages, one for the trailer and one for the tractor unit, and 1 page of instruction.
I am attaching a video of the Truck, so you can see it for yourself
