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

Thank you Sam and Merry Christmas

I got it painted and decaled it this evening

Ben the Bison is On the work bench Big Rigs now section I messed up and posted it here for some reason thanks for looking in you can follow it there

I bought this kit off EBay about 2 yrs ago and this kit brings back a lot of memories to me. I think it was Christmas of 1979 Mom and Dad got this kit for me and my brother Bill got me the GMC General the same Christmas I have a pic of them some where that my mom took of them when I finished them. They were my first model trucks.That was 40yrs ago so I thought I would build one for the Anniversary of this first model truck I got. I will be adding some spoke wheels and a tarp and a headache rack to this build. Hope you will follow along.

I finally got this one finished Enjoy the pics

Thanks guys Me too, I’m kinda getting tired of building model kits with almost 300 parts after about 40 years of building these kinda kits I’m really liking this 1/32 scale and 1/43 low parts count kits. I have built a lot of them when I was a kid. I will have more 1/32 trucks on the bench soon. I’m working on the mirror brackets now than this one will be done

Thanks Tesla putting the mirrors on then it will be finished

Today I added the Wheels, Battery Boxes, Stack, Air Cleaner, Air Tank and Tail Lights a few more things and I’m calling it done

Thanks it’s almost like a first gear B Mack but made of plastic very cool to tear apart and re build

Got the resin wheels ready for paint a few more extra parts and I’m going to go walk this dog

Thanks Brian This goes together much Easier than 1/25 scale and there’s no guessing on the windshield and such and trying to fit other parts. Another reason I like this 1/32 scale it’s a space saver and you don’t have much revenue invested in it I’ve just about gave up on 1/25 scale.

Going to call it a day with this dog. Next up I’ll be adding some resin rear wheels from Dave at AITM

Warren Thats looking really nice very East Coast

Got some more done on it this morning. Accented the chrome parts installed the interior, add the Don Mills decals to the side of the hood and some other odds and ends
