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

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
