..................we have some color,, some faint 3D print lines showing on the cab doors but if I filled/sanded more I'd lose detail,,won't be as noticeable once the stripes are on and clear coat .I'll let it level out some then put in the dehydrator

Thanks Henry!

Thanks Brian!

............couple hours today,more cab sanding and primer, couldn't use the KW mirror brackets so I just used the heads ,made the brackets and used watch screws to attach to body ,made the grab rails..they will all get Revell Chrome,Tomorrow wet sand the hood and cab and maybe get some color on it. Can't do much more on the chassis until I get the brake chambers.Got the Evergreen rectangular telescopic tubing so I can play around with some sort of under reach.

Thanks Gary!

I'll wait for it Brian ,everything for the interior was 3D printed in one piece so I painted it now before adding the other stuff

That came out sweet Lee,,,the tires,,,,yep,,,,they make it!

Thanks Lee.......Those were from the KW kit.... I have small Mack decals that might fit ,,if not I should be able to scan them and make smaller ones on the inkjet decal paper

..........well I worked a couple hours today then came home and the wife and I de-Christmas'd the house ,which is always fun (rolling eye smiley again) I took the outside stuff down yesterday ,,,,thats as much fun as putting it up..if not more ......(picture Chevy Chase...National Lampoon...get my drift ..lol ) put that stuff away which led to a full clean up of the basement storage room. I did manage to do some on the wrecker,,,some I did last night,,,the Revell Chrome , massaged the cab got most of the print lines sanded out and started drilling for the horns,,etc .Started painting the interior tub,,,did a final test shot of the Sikkens FDNY red paint and the mix ratio nailed down 1:1:1/4 paint-reducer-hardener. Making the mirror brackets out of aluminum and use the KW kit mirror heads ,,, see what tomorrow brings !............ohhhhh and I had to fill the air horns,,,they were hollow too

lol......just some old trucker humor from the peanut gallery Dan

...............just put some Jakes on it,,,it'll be fine "rolling eye smiley"

Ron.......you can always go with the "Front Brake Delete" option ........ lol

I got all he had the other day to replace the hollow ones from my Revell kit ,,,sorry Ron....I've been looking for the Auslowe ones too ,,nobody has any

That thing looks good Lee , who's kit is that? I know Atlantis has the repop Monogram AC with solid tires

Your build is on a roll Dan! Maybe just try and soften the glue joint on the crossmember with Tamiya Thin cement and slowly work it free

.....................that was probably a Monday build at Macungie Assembly 🙂

yep

That's not that god awful bad,,,the MP8 for the wrecker has a lot of molded in stuff too ...just gotta use some artistic license with the paint brush 😉

Front sump would be in a cabover if memory serves me correctly

Is Terry from STS on this forum ? Maybe he can make this right with you Zip

That came out nice Zip!

.............I think we need a 3D print 1/25th scale Aeroquip hose crimping machine now !

Happy New Year Brian!

Thanks Dom! Yeah a heavy rescue wrecker would be nice

Looks great Brian,,,,I'll use that clevis mod on the wrecker build
