TruckerAL Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 This is the newer release Italeri branded AMT Mack Superliner. Swapped out the kit Cummins for a 12v71 Detroit from a Tyrone Malone Superboss kit. Has to modify the turbos and up pipes, as well as the front belt assembly and water pump to fit. Had to move the cab and cab mounts too. Added a 3d printed swan, modified bow tie visor, moebius super single rims and tires, AMT 5th wheel plate, and custom mudflaps. Also moved the fuel tanks back and added battery boxes. Overall, a very nice kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a signature touch I try to add on as many builds as I can! Definitely a challenge to add, but worth it! Thank you guys😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Nice work with this one. You don’t see that many Superliners here in the forum, let alone one dressed up so classy. Great mods, they improve the look and accuracy. Nice to see a proper North American-style fifth wheel. Most Italeri kits come with their European-style fifth wheel - incorrect for the US trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never liked it, I'm glad I had a spare one to use on this build. Looks much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Maynard Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Looks great. I agree about the Italari 5th wheels they don't match our American trucks. The AMT 5th wheel looks so much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Very nice looking Superliner!! I like your engine choice, although you would need a lot of butter to squeeze one of those into a 1:1 Superliner. Excellent work!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Nice work on this one, Al - as I see, there are still no Mack logos in this kit. You cut back the "matlack" decals for Mack on the side of the hood, didn't you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
