    Gary wallace sells the extended r700 hood which this truck used, but mack extended the cowl at the factory to make room for the v12. so i will be using the hood from the kit to make the cowl extensions.

    So i saw one of these super rare macks at macungie truck show a few years back and have always thought it was hads down the coolest truck ever built. The mack RS-771L and RL-771L were only built for a few years in the early 70's and came factory with a 12v71 detroit!!

    Great idea using a removable pin for the cab/hood hinge.

    Nope didnt sand them or prime them just went over everything with the pen. I noticed the heavier you put it on the more it looks like a mirror. I also painted the wheels gloss black first to see if it helped and it doesnt seem as bright as when i just put it on bare plastic.

  15. Jimbo8v92
    Chromed everything i can think of at the moment. Glued the rear wheels on and lost my front axle so i guess ill have to look for some rod to fit the front wheels.....

  21. Jimbo8v92
    Little more progress..painted the roof and wheel flares for the wrecker body
  22. Jimbo8v92
    Really like the way you drilled and put pivot pins in the 5th wheel.
  23. Jimbo8v92
    That would probably work best if its in a pen since these parts are so small def gonna look into that. I bought some alclad II chrome to try in my airbrush so maybe ill just use that on my other 1/25 scale trucks im going to start soon..thanks for the tip!
  24. Jimbo8v92
    Thanks guys...yeah heres a little more progress. Interior is in primer and will be going brown leather. Also waiting for the front cabinet on the wrecker body to dry. Hopfully ill get all the chrome done over the weekend.
  25. Jimbo8v92
