..............so not much done the first part of the week with working a few hours each day and freezing my balls off and 2 Dr appointments for the wife and me thrown in ,,,,but today,,,today the cab became one with the chassis The bed and boom are just sitting there not nailed yet. I got these Auslowe Mack tanks that look pretty close size wise ,,,that will be next and work out the stack on the pass side ......and I'll pull the hood pins and pull that off and do the wiring/air lines and figure out an under hood air cleaner

Thanks Gary!

.........nice progress on the cab Brian! ,,,,I usually measure once and cut twice myself 😛

Zip,,did you try Micro Sol decal setting solvent?

That truck was repurposed by the FDNY from a Squad to this,,,a lot was done in-house by the FDNY Shops

Global Scale Model Trucks does make an MR Mack cab kit! lol

Brian,,,,,whattaya think,,,,my next project? I can take some pointers from ya 😉

Thanks Victor

Thanks Dom!

Thanks Charles ! Always a new blade,,,I get the big pack of 100 ,,,,and watch out for those Chinese knock off X-Acto blades and knives ! junk!

I know BMF had a lot of bad batches that got out because of that issue,,I was planning on masking it off and using Revell chrome spray ,,,but because the hood may be handled a bit I decided to go with the foil,,I have a Mack bulldog to go on it but that will be last ,,,I'd like to find a cast pewter one instead of the resin one I have ,,,pretty fragile

A little more progress........... shot the cab / hood / body with clear yesterday ,,did a little more detail on the engine,,today I did Bare Metal on the hood and blacked out the grill

No problem Lee

All coming together Lee! Nice!!

I was considering doing that but the other pump worked out fine ,,,,,,I'm trying to keep this snowball from getting bigger than it has,,,,,lol 🙂

Brian yup it fit fine,,,I just shaved off the molded in cover/bolts on the Allison ,, I could have used the bigger 2 stage pump too but the orientation of the ports would put the hyd hoses/fittings into the frame ,,I'll use that one on a truck mounted knuckle boom crane I have on my to-do list

yeah you can say that again,,,,I got some coming from Paul at ST when he gets them in ,,,comes with the orange airline

I use CTM zip ties ,,,the new CTM brake valve set was just released ,might not be available yet.Yes the air dryer is from CTM also . There are a lot of vendors out there that carry CTM's stuff,,you have to shop around

If your referring to the above pics with the orange air lines those came from the CTM website advertising their new air brake valve detailing set

.............that's like a Freightliner ,,,, all the wiring is white and the air lines are yellow ,,,,lol

Your stuff is right up there buddy! ,,,,,,,I think they have more cable clamps than you though....lol !

I just got an email from CTM with the new brake valve kit they came out with,,,,hey I just throw a few here and there but >> HOLY CHIT!
