Have been building on this for a couple of days and i did the final things on it today
It was fun to build but it did fight me on some parts...
I hope that round2 have fixed those problems with their upcoming rerelease.

The biggest problem was that the fenders did not line up with the cab if you are using the cabmounts molded on to the framerails.
The manual say to mount the cab before the fenders but you have to mount those + the radiator first and then adjust the cab after them removing the molded slots in the interiorbucket for the cab mounts helps alot.
Another problem was the passengerside mirrorarm as it is exactly the same as the driverside but this side needs to have the bottom leg bent in an angle to have the mirror sit straight, i did not care and now it is all over the place...

And for those who might build one when you reach step 17 in the instruction mount the exhaustpipe that goes between the engine and stack before you mount the springbrace on the front springs.
I did not... but after many twists and turns it finally came in to its correct place

Also as a fun thing i did notice that Mack and Scania cooperated with eachother at one time because alot of the parts on the engine and placement of others is almost exactly the same as Scania have on their v8,s from this era

Very nice! I’m glad the DM800 is getting rereleased.  I believe Mack and Scania shared the same engine block for the 673, 711, the E9 also. The V8 Scania sounds similar to an E9 Mack V8, just not as throaty.
