I just went to the post. Looking good. What brand and shade of Yellow is that?

Thanks. I heard the front axle can be a bit fiddly. Any tips you can offer? Also did you build them as DM model construction types or U model freight trucks.

Change of plans. Let’s see if I can pull this off. Standard issues a future Fowler project always has. Colors, livery, lack of confidence.

Here are my 6 color choices. Frame will be semi gloss Black.

Thanks. So the question now becomes how did the hood end up fitting?

No. I know the cab was set that way. It just looks as if there is a slight tilt as if it's not sitting level.

I really like this a lot. Very nicely done on the fabrication for the build. Nothing cooler than an Upstate NY Municipality Dump/Plow. I saw a good number of them as a teenager as my Grandparents lived in Eldred, NY (Orange County). There was a local municipality garage near them. You should be proud.

Hello all hope everyone is well. I have a question in regard to the MPC Mack DM600. For the cab has anyone out there who has built the model had an issue with the cab sitting level over the interior bucket? I've seen some examples on the internet where if look at a picture of the back of the cab it appears off kilter. I have attached an example. It could be the camera angle of the picture.

Thanks thus far everyone. It's always nice to hear about progress on kits. Just need to finish this one in short order.

I agree with all that was said above. However remember the livery for the 4070A in the kit decals was Loadmasters Transportation Ames, Iowa. All the more reason to have a longer wheelbase as it probably did a lot of West Coast runs.

Thank you

Thanks. I just wish I could build the vertical stack. The kit one is bad.

Just about 2 years ago I bought the latest reissue of the AMT LNT8000 Snowplow. Originally was doing the dump truck but changed my mind and decided to go with a tractor. Where I grew up in Long Island the LN Series was a popular truck. I was partial to the LNT8000 which was used by grocery haulers, and truck rental companies. The stubby nose was pretty cool. Hoping to finish her soon as it’s been a tough 2 years.

What would you want for it?

Was thinking a Revell W900 Aerodyne. However may have second thoughts. Only time will tell.

I always liked Grabber Green myself. Grabber Blue was my next favorite.

Thank you. I am looking forward to see if I can pull it off. For the green shade someone recommended using Krylon Sea Foam Green. We'll give it whirl.

Harvey good morning and I hope my reply finds you well. Thank you for providing me with the information. The kit I believe is the Round 2 reissue. That being said I would assume it's the post '73-'74. So what brand/color would be best to replicate the Mack Tan?

Brian thank you for the tips. I agree with you as I’m not quite sure if I want to go too crazy with it. Box stock is probably the way to go.

Very nicely done Alex. Like the colors

Hello all hope everyone’s well. Have some questions in regard to converting the MPC Mack DM600 into a U600. I know that frames are different as the DM is a construction site frame. That being said based on Roadway decals found in the box what do I need to know prior to starting the conversion?

Nicely done.

Have decided that my build off entry will be the Revell USA W900 Aerodyne. I am going to be trading the Western Star. Still on the fence about color(s). I know it will be narrowed down to a shade of Aqua, a Blue similar to the picture, a nice Green, or perhaps a color in the spectrum. Color choice is always the toughest for me to decide on.

Nice job so far.

Hello all, Hope everyone's well. Have a question on the best (see easiest) way to assemble the AMT (Italeri) Freightliner FLC cab. I see by the instructions sheet that it has a good number of pieces. SO that out of the way do you build the interior, then the outer cab around it. Or vice versa? As always help is appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Jerry
