I also going to swap the engine for a Cat 3406 from the KW aerodyne , I'm  looking for a flat top sleeper for this project,  mack dm 600 front emblem and bulldog ornament.

Bennyg Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Photo etch Mack badge set with a white metal bulldog would be the go. Auslowe sells them. Also Google around for articles on making the superliner more genuine of you like. Looking forward to seeing another super-liner.  Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
