Mack AC Dump Truck with Pneumatic Tires
Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks Gary it’s now finished and Under Glass -
Seth nice finish I like the shorty WB. The scratch built stack looks good also. There something about a all color Mack that looks great but I’m a East Coast kinda guy too. The Gas Station is a nice touch too. Thanks for sharing.

White Freightliner COE day cab dual drive
Pete68 replied to Bills72sj's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
How did I miss this one. That’s a beautiful truck colors are a great combination and I like the square headlights reminds me of a guy who live here in the area who done that to a 1.1 back in the late 1980s to his old White Freightliner well done.- 39 replies

Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Well here’s another one I’ve dug out of my “Mack models I have to finish” pile. Last night I done some work on it and some updates. Added some strips of Styrene on the tank for straps Soaked this ugly tank in Ammonia to get the chrome off This started out as a long frame but I decided to make a shorter WB. More updates soon. -

Mack AC Dump Truck with Pneumatic Tires
Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Yes that would be nice. Dave had the molds to do that truck but when he moved he missed place them but said he would keep looking for me and I was making a order with him one day he said he found them that he would cast some up then Covid hit and he got buried with orders and I just gave up because he was so busy then he sold the company to Doug. -
Mack AC Dump Truck with Pneumatic Tires
Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks for the complement I appreciate it. I hope AITM gets going some day I still have things on my list to get from them. When I got the truck painted and the wheels and tires put on I mocked it up and sent Dave some pics he also liked the paint colors I chose. I wish I would have kept going and finished it so he could have seen the end results. Thanks for stopping by. -

Mack AC Dump Truck with Pneumatic Tires
Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Scott thanks for the complement. The kit is the original Monogram. The wheels and tires are from AITM. Thanks for stopping by -
After 9 years just sitting on the shelf not finished today it is. This build was a first for me in a lot of ways. This was my first AC Mack in 1/24 scale I built and the first to put Pneumatic Tires on a 1/24 AC and upgrade it. I got the kit off of eBay and I when I got it I didn’t realize that the box looked like it was in a fire with smoke damage. The frame was already built and was very warped making it difficult for me to build especially when I never built one. Thanks to Dave (AITM) the day I call him 9 years ago and told him my idea about this build he told me the exact tires and wheels to use and sent me a pair of Headlight’s and bracelets for it free. I opted out on using the Headlight’s from Dave for someday I might use them on another AC build I have in mind. I miss Dave and the talks we would have about Mack Trucks and Building Model’s of them. Enjoy the pics.

AMT Kenworth Challenge mixer 1/25
Pete68 replied to truckabilly's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Outstanding job on this just the right amount of weathering not over killed to give it a very convincing look especially the Mudflaps nice touch. As a Dump Trucker I’ve seen that many times on my truck and you nailed it. This has to be the best rendition of this mixer as per Box Art. build. Thanks for sharing. -
