Update, slow progress, cab is in color, decals on. Chassis is well along. I tried something different with the decals to try to get the right look. Still a little off, not sure if I like it better or not as much as the first attempt....

Good start, great work on the stinger!

That came out great! I really like the Montone body, goes well with the Mack.

Great work as usual!

I decided to try again, this time with the correct short hood. I started with the AMT Kenny and have filled the door window. I still need to move the vent windows. It appears the AMT chassis is close enough to the correct length so it won't need to be shortened. I'm leaving out the kit supplied aux tranny. I may scratch build the front bumper or steal one from the snap kit. Front wheels/tires from the kit, rears are 2 hole 20" and tires from Jamie. Batt boxes from AITM. Photo is a mock up shot, still have a ways to go before paint.....

Looks good. A local contractor had a bunch of Macks like this but they were all yellow, cab, chassis and dump box.

Nice job!

Very well done!

Two kits I remember were the Hogan's Heroes Jeep and Maxwell Smart's Sunbeam.

Looks great!

What Auslowe calls a Rockwell is not the same as the A-car dump. The USA military used Rockwells in their 2.5 and 5 ton trucks for many years. The same style (as used in the AMT Autocar Dump kit) was used in many dump trucks of the 60's and 70's including Brockways and Internationals.

Looking for the same style as in the A-Car dump kit, ie, military. Also need 1/25 scale.

Anyone have a source for Rockwell rear axles/suspension? (besides the Autocar dump kit)

Looks Great, Jim! I don't remember that kit....

I'll be interested to see how you do this. I used the Lindberg Dodge chassis, engine and interior for my JF White 3000.

Fonts are near impossible to ID, I suspect they had a guy freehand all the lettering. If you feel like doing a test shot of the door decals, I'd be game.

Long overdue update, lack of progress due to lack of motivation and other things. Cab is fit to chassis and the chassis is ready for paint. Cab needs finish color coat, then some clear. Interior is next, and at some point I have to figure out how to do the door decals. I've been looking for a good clear shot of the door (pre-roll). Even if it's in B&W I can add the colors. So far, I haven't found anything. Artwork from the studio would be great but not likely I'll ever see it.

Not much of a restoration, more of a survivor. It was never converted to an RV and only needed some fixing.

From the show 6/27/21: https://pbase.com/baywing/brook21 The Autocar was interesting, haven't seen one with a set back front drive axle. I was told it started life as a mixer and then as a house mover.

I know the brothers that have the blue one, see it a couple of times a year at shows. The paint would be tough..... https://pbase.com/baywing/image/171720536.jpg

Looking to build a Western Star COE. The closest cab I can find is a White Road Commander. I'm not sure what the differences are, seems like the lower cab is different and it appears that the area around the windshield is also different. Wondering if anyone has looked at this?

I ordered some bulldozer parts from them last fall. Website said in stock but also said 2 weeks to make. I think it was 3-4 months later I contacted them asking what the hold up was. I never got a reply but the order did show up a couple of weeks later. Most of the resin casters have been having supply issues, the resin they cast with is in short supply so that could be a part of it. Dave at AITM put up a banner on his website as have a few others. Good luck, I think you'll see the stuff eventually. I know I probably won't order anything from them again unless I really need it and am willing to wait 3-4 months to get it.

Last count I heard was just over 900 trucks in attendance. Photos of some of them: https://pbase.com/baywing/mac21

Still looks great. I have mine that I built around the same time, maybe a little earlier. Like yours, mine has survived a few moves and still looks good.
