Thanks and yes I will paint it a grime wash after I paint it Tamiya nato black

Thanks Brian it was so cold that day I took the Frostways truck pic I think it was about 5 degrees with a lot of snow that was about 9 yrs ago

Thanks Brian. I got the rear wheels on tires were sanded I kept one set off so you can see the chain drive before I glue it I also painted the seat and floor pan

Yes it will have a lowboy don’t know what load will be

Thanks Jim it’s a pretty fun build so far. I will have update soon

Yes those mirrors were awful. I still have several of these trucks left I plan to build some day

Here’s a few Ulrich Mack’s I build several years ago. I upgraded them with some Athearn wheels and stacks from there B models

This is a Don Mills Models Mack FK kit I bought from Don about 12yrs ago and thought it was time to build it. This is what I’ve got done so far.

This started out as a corgi Mack B61 I strip down and repainted it and added a tow body to it plus some 1/25 Decals

Your truck is looking very good. I have several of these there great kits I’ll post one almost done when I get the bench caught up

Beautiful out come its amazing what we can do with these old kits you did a great job.also nice rigging on the shovel

Get the LeeTown if you can it was the first one made the molds were wore out when Alloy forms/jaks got them they redone the fenders and made them to wide also Lee town has the diamond plate on top of the fender.

Spot on Brian! Great work turned out beautiful.

Thanks Brian. it’s so much fun building it. Hope you guys don’t mine me sharing my 1/48 trucks and trailers with you I have a lot more to come.

Thanks Brian. I’m wanting to get my 1/48 trucks done while I’m doing it I don’t mind sharing them with you guys. I’ve wanted a O Scale layout for years I guess I’m filling a bucket list. Thanks again and you do some fantastic work yourself.

Thanks Brian. I’m just running out of room for 1/25 and after about 35yrs of building them I’m getting burned out on them.

Thanks Jim, been working on it all fall and winter these 1/48 trucks are probably my favorite.

Thanks. There better than 1/87 HO I use to work in. I had to move up to 1/48 O scale due to my eyes and arthritis.

Thanks guys

I started this build about 5yrs ago put it a side. The truck is a Revell White 3000 I stretch the frame and added two fuel tanks from the honest John kit. The engine came out of a corgi Ford H. I got some more parts from Don Mills last week going try to finish this have to install the radiator which was in the back of the cab instead of the front got a few ideas how to do this.

Looking very nice Jim can’t wait to see it done

Some more shots of my 1/48 Mack B81

This my 1/48 Mack B75 with wide radiator the truck start out as a corgi B61 I used a Don Mills B73 Mack radiator to make this B75. Other components of his were used was Radiator guard, Fuel tanks, Stack, Wheels, Tires, Air Cleaner, Bulldog, Fifth Wheel and Mirrors.

This is a Dans Models Mack H I rebuilt and added Don Mills wheels and rear tires and a HO locomotive air horn

Not much work this evening painted the wheels going to let them dry good before detailing them
