  1. Does anybody know of any newer year model Mack models out there? Thanks Jon
  2. I'm approaching the end of this build. I have come to a point where I need to build the airlines from the tractor to trailer and the chains and binders to tie down the load. Can some one point me to any pics or tips for building these? Haven't been able to find any. Thanks
  3. Thanks, I wanted something bright and I got it with this color. I might have gotten a little over zealous with the stacks, they are 1/2 OD which translates to 12" OD at 1/24 scale. They are styrene I covered with aluminum foil. I still need to cut them to length just haven't figured out what that is yet. I was going to cut and polish them just before gluing them in place. Thanks, Jon
  4. All I did was just shave the mounts down enough to lower it about 3/16", if I had gone anymore I would have had to notch the back cab wall to clear the frame and build new mounts for the front of the cab, I wasn't wanting to do that just yet. Once I lowered the cab then I had to build new hinges for the hood and redo the air intake under the hood. I wanted to lower the suspension as well but just couldn't figure out the best way to do that on this chassis. So far I'm getting the look I was envisioning when I started this build. Thanks, Jon
  5. The pics posted in the opposite order I intended. So start from the bottom for the progression. Thanks Jon
  6. My first truck and trailer. I lowered the cab on the frame and boxed the frame. I decided to leave the sleeper off. I made fenders for the rear tires and am still working on my large exhaust stacks. I extended the lowboy about 5" and added a wood deck. I have a WWII panzer tank I have started building to put on the deck as a recovered wreck. Thought I would share a couple pics.
  7. I have been building this kit as well. I did not see any issues with chassis cracks. I did have lots of flashing around the parts though. I have opted to use a blown hemi and to lower the car some.
