This build has been at a sitting around for about 2yrs so with the Bison almost done thought I would tidy up a few 1/32 in progress builds.

Looking good Brian

Sam I go with the Watkins trailer looks like a easy fast build then move to the Paystar/Lowboy build you might just get burned out on that overwhelming Pete 352 build just my thoughts

Thanks

Jerry To give you some advice I would order my Stripe first before I paint the frame dark green so you can get a better match up. Here my WFL to give you a idea what the decals look like

Yes I like these better and it’s one continuous stripe versus the AMT California hauler. I have a set of those IT decals I put on a AMT White Freightliner COE there nice

I like how your thinking those Green fenders would look great. Come on Jan 1st

Jerry I was just getting ready to post that I agree with Sam and Jeff. Paint it a Construction Yellow with a Dark Green frame and make it a International Transport Inc. I. T. model truckin has those decals and with those AMT Cal. Hauler Decals that would look nice just my thoughts

Thanks Vince hope I can get this done soon

That’s going to be Sweet Ben. If you need spoke wheels and the tires Dave at AITM has them drop him a email and he will fix you up

Thanks for the complement Vince

I’m with Jeff some newer Mack’s would be nice being I’m a big Mack fan

Thanks Brian it was a fun build. And thanks for the complement

Thanks Brian I’ve always wanted to put a set of spokes on one of these Bisons/Generals and these 1/32 scale trucks are nice

Tonight I painted the wheels and tanks. Tanks were painted a brush Aluminum and I also did a quick mock up

Thanks Jeff

Jeff The next time you up date the BRBO list do you mind to add a 1/32 AMT Trailmobile Reefer trailer with my R-700 Mack that should keep me busy Thanks

Looks very nice I especially like the “U” bolts on your springs keep up the great scratch work

It was Bob's(Illlini) he cast that one for years at least 30 yrs I have a old sales sheet he sent me with it on it that was back in 1984-85

Thanks Pappy! I real enjoyed building this one especially making the decals on the computer

A very nice kit I have several a very enjoyable model to build and a great one for your first

Got the frame, interior, air cleaner and luber finer painted today next up will be the wheels

Thanks for adding me after building 1/25 scale trucks for almost 40yrs thought I would go back to my roots of building trucks which was 1/32 scale. If I get this finished soon will a trailer for it be allowed for the BRBO? If not that’s Ok

Well since I’m on a 1/32 scale kick I’m in with this AITM 1/32 scale Mack R-700 big radiator with a Mercury Sleeper I got from Dave A couple weeks ago. I’m waiting for the 5 hole front wheels from Don Mills. There will be some changes as I go because I’m undecided about the tanks, air cleaner and wheel base. Thanks for having me
