The guy at LHS where I bought the shuttle says there is a PE set to replace all the launch tower structure. He told me it's it's around 250 dollars, just for the PE set. I'm sure it would really set it off. But that's a pretty chunk of change.
Carl, no I haven't tried the Testors yet. I'm sure I'm gonna go through a few before I find the right shade.
Maybe I should just email them and ask for for the color code. Then I won't have to mess around.
Been thinkin about. Probably body putty carved. I'm open to suggestions.
Also, has anybody opened the doors on one of these snappers?
Forgot to post a pic of the mask.
The mask will need some modifying.
The 386 is available, kinda. You need a 377 kit and the 386 conversion from AITM.
Here's a built 386 thread link.

Anything else will be many years from being produced.
That would be cool, thanks Terry. I haven't looked at that kit. Is the DM an in line 6 or a V8?
I need to search the rears. I wonder how different the Mack air ride is, over the FL
I forgot that Italeri used the same frame as the FLC for this. I'm just going to build it as is. My first born is due in a month or so. I need to limit my aftermarket purchases for a little bit. But who knows, it may be a year or two before I get to this build.
What parts, if any, would needed to make this a "Gold Bulldog" Superliner?
Those who don't know what a "Gold Bulldog" means, it means pure bred, all Mack parts. Engine, trans, suspension and so on.
