gotnitro?

Following along !

Thanks ! I almost gave up on it too..glad I stuck it out

Awesome work ! I traded a fella for one of these few years ago, gonna have to dig it out

So much fun to watch this develop I'd grab a bag of popcorn but dr said I cant eat it anymore..bummed

I finally got back into working on the Mack, and now its falling together. I wanted to add a few personal touches , so I added a couple fog lights below bumper. Also what road tractor wouldn't have a CB antenna? I bummed one from the 4300 kit. The mount is just a scrap piece of angle mounted just above the drivers window .The fuel tank steps needed something , so scraps of perforated photoetch was attached . Lastly the exhaust stack was replaced w a curved top. My fellow builders pointed out a large empty space behind the cab before the rear tandems, a set of half fenders from the snap KW fit the bill..and will compliment the trailer fenders ! Enough gab enjoy the pics !

Very nice work

Very nice Justin ! Can't wait to see it in Utica

Really like how ya have this sitting , grafting the donor front end was pure genius ! Using the super low pro tires and old school cab is killer

Very nice build

Good tip using a large sheet..if I may suggest using Basswood instead of balsa. Grain is smoother and imo better appearance over airplane wood . I bought a piece about 4 inches wide by roughly 20 inches at hobby lobby last year if I recall its 1/32 " thinnest I could find

Looks like the ChMZAP 5247 G trailer that's offered w the Maz 537 kit which imo is a fantastic model The Kraz makes a great tractor too

Just noticed The Beast lurking in the background of your last pic..the OSHKOSH HET M1070 ! Really looking forward to this one I may have a set of the fender spot mirrors from Dave Natale, I can check

Following along, I just picked one up to convert into a 9300 to replicate my step dads truck. Looks like the prior operator put loads of wiring details on, really nice

Watching !

Very interesting project

Awesome details , you can almost fire that engine up just add fluids Love the tank straps

Awesome info on the hinge , definitely the simplest way and looks real

Stunning work really like all the small details these kits have

Very nice sled dog ! I've always liked the 457 version of these trucks , something about the roof line and cab shape just looks good to me. Could I pester ya for a pic of your cab hinges ? I always struggle making them work Keep up the great work

Looks great Dan ! Really went together well Oh watch out being in Tbills family..he likes to send people squirrels...lol

Outstanding job, theres so many details you've added it really makes it realistic ! Definitely like your choice of boom color , orange makes it stand out not disappear under coat of black Noticed watching highway thru hell most of their trucks have bright colors

I puttered w the tanker while paint dried on my new chassis , detailed out the front fenders. Ribs from half round, and small loops of solder replicate the u bolts seen on my reference. The fenders came from Jamie at moluminum The ladder was extremely fun. .080 rod w 060 steps . The top treads are perforated sheet ( gorgeous pattern) I bought from KFS . back to the Mack thanks for watching

Love what your doing , the steam wisps are a cool touch, gives it sense of being well used instead of show truck . Step dads shop has a retired paystar out front I'd like to model eventually

Yup sometimes it's faster just to cover them ! I better get back on my Mack, all the paints finally dry

The red Aeromax was the tractor I saw pulling Bill Elliott's transporter for the Bud at the Glen race here at Watkins Glen . They were staying over at a local hotel, funny cause the entire Hendricks team was there also. I only remember it since it's the first time I saw Jeff Gordon in person
