Very sharp Chevy
-
You've nailed the sleeper now
This is turning into a nice looking build
-
Small update ..I have a roller ! The body parts are only mocked up checking alignment.. just visable behind the fuel tank is the blower drive sticking thru its mount.
-
Better strap that load down driver , dont want the NYDOT fining ya for an unsecured load lol
Looks great in the color
-
Didnt happen without pics ! Lol
Glad ya kept plugging away at this unique build
-
Very nice start
-
Very cool second trailer , good idea for load !
Saw a trailer yesterday full of golf carts cruising thru ithaca ..right down your alley !

I have the same tanker. I'll be following this build.
Thanks for following along I'll be getting back to the tanker this wknd, the 2nd primer coat is dry. I wanted a very smooth finish..you've seen the tank so its required a few coats to smooth

Looking good Jeff, stay away from the possums, lol.
I'll try Tom..ya know me all its takes is a pic and

Rick Hoffman- I left off the mounts for the main air tank, and the tank itself . I only have the small ones mounted more aft on either side .
I'll snap a pic tonite , but its mostly a sea of boring black..fleet truck style

Thanks I robbed the red air cleaner body from the dm 800 parts truck..and the vacuum canister from another r mack I stolen several pieces from that were much cleaner than the new reissue
-
Nice save
Truck looks fantastic compared to how you received it
-
A sneak peek on the parts..you may recognize the ancestry of a couple ..
And the scratchbuilt Tuthill blower assembly
I'm still looking for those cool rubber elbow connectors, likely just make some from heat shrink
That's it for today back to the bench
-
As far as the vacuum/ blower canisters go..I'm playing around w few ideas..I'll let everyone in on soon..
Heres what the Tuthill style I'm modeling looks like..the actual blower unit driven off a pto on the trucks trans then the air cleaner canister lastly the blower /vacuum canister..both look vaguely like kit parts huh..? Wink
-
Looking good !
You made an interesting point..my IH transtar eagle 2 fell together, very enjoyable build , and actually looks great..almost like the Tamiya armor kits too bad there isn't more offerings from Ertl

In your defense, you don’t often use kit parts....
Yeah I even tried foul language...still didnt fall together. When I was 15 or so..these would've qualified for wall bangers..thrown against the wall then vacuum up the pieces..but I'm paying for them now lol
-
Thanks for the Info ! Most of these parts resemble melted blobs of plastic usually so actually identifying them makes it more interesting
-
Looking good !
-
Rotflmao that was a great commercial
-
I'm sure you'll have this whipped together in no time ! Even 30 minutes each night help finish small steps then suddenly its built !
Tom already nailed the ejector hole solution, small amounts will build up fixing those
-
That doesn't look anything like the trunnion offered in the R model I'm working on. Springs sorta but the stands and cross bar barely fit where the " drawing" shows..but were past that stage thankfully
The dm one did assemble better and slightly more surface area to glue the suspension together. Guess it's my lack of building these kits that cause me to struggle
-
Thanks for taking the time to photograph your updates, I just picked up a d8 and it will need these improvements.
Funny cause I purchased an IH 4270 from a fella in Canada selling a huge collection. I was inspired to use that to pull my scratchbuilt Roger's
-
Looking forward to future updates great start
