You can see from the model that the roof line is lower and that it doesn't have the moulding line along the centre.

I have convertted a couple of the G cabs to the narrower L and S cabs, it is not a difficult conversion to narrow the cab and extend the wheelarch, the hardest part is lowering the roof slightly. I will see if I have any photos of the conversions

Swapping roofs can make a SK94 Eurocab. They also come in 6x4 tandem springs and in 4x2 air suspension. Revell has the 4x2 leaf suspension. So with some kitbashing, there are a lot of possibilities.

For a twinsteer: as the "famous" british resin makers hardly don't do anything for Mercs, it's better you look out for some old built ones to dismantle for the spares and create your own one.
