Mopar - D

Jeff I know a guy over on Mopar in Scale that builds his own from scratch and I asked him if he would sell me the parts to build my own so that’s where I’m getting it from.

Roger I’ve decided to go with the Revell KW as my cab and a detachable lowboy trailer with a Mack DM 600 steel hood/ Challenge mixer being loaded on it. This is going to add a new Super Bee company “ Super Bee Services “

This is a rebuild of my White Frightliner DD day cab that I built about 12 years ago when I was just getting back to building trucks. Back then I modified the sleeper cab to a day cab. For the rebuild I used several parts I had left over from using the Frightliner SD/DD kit as a donor for my resin builds. I did a WIP on the build for more details on it. The gravel trailer is a new build from the old MPC Mack DM 800 / Gravel combo kit. I modified the trailer to a tandem axle instead of the tri axle. I’ll add some outside pictures when the sun comes back here.

I’ve been able to finish this one up and have it with the rest of the Super Bee fleet. Thanks for everyone’s comments and attention to my build I appreciate them. Check out under glass for more pictures.

Thanks Jeff someone else here did the same for lowering the head lights and it looked like something I could do to. Lol. Thanks Ken

Thanks Jeff and also thanks for your time hosting 2021 BRBO. Thanks Roger I’m close on choosing what my 2022 BRBO build will be. Thanks Pat.

Awesome building Stephen! I’m amazed at how much detail you add on this scale truck. It would be great if someone had better tires for these trucks. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

Thanks Jeff and I appreciate everyone’s votes for my Dan Gurney build.

Great colors Brian! I’m looking forward to seeing more progress pictures.

Brian glad to see you back on this build. What did you use for your hinges?

This is one awesome scratch building/ design engineering project Tom! You know that making hand drawn drawings is becoming a lost art.

Excellent first big rig build! Great colors and details to turn this build into a athletic looking truck.

I’m just about finished with the gravel trailer still need to add a couple decals on it. Getting closer with the Frightliner still working on the little details.

Nice start Ken on your Challenger. I painted my Challenger SE white with a brown interior and black vinyl top.

Thanks Jeff No I flipped them over and switch sides with them. My saw cuts were small but shorten the bottom but I don’t think it’s that noticeable. There’s just a little more gap between the bumper and cab.

You could use one from the Frightliner SD/DD kit and still have parts to build a DD Frightliner.

I was able to spray the first coat of clear coat and I’ve started on the MPC gravel trailer. I’m going to paint the dump body chrome like the rest of the fleet. I have also deleted one of the axles on the trailer to.

Some more progress I’ve placed the decals and front bumper and fuel tanks are now attached. I’ll spray on clear coat as soon as the weather warms up here. I’m also going to build a MPC gravel trailer for this one.

Thanks Lee I’ll try to keep it interesting. Thanks Judah Thanks Ken Thanks Carl

Thanks Jerry

Yes these are known problems with this kit and there’s a couple WIP’s showing how to fix them. I cut about 1/8” out of the middle of the front axle and lowered the head lights about 1/8” also.

Nice start Jacob I’m currently rebuilding my Frightliner day cab with dual drive. Are you going to shorten the front axle and lower the head lights?

Excellent build Johnny. Those colors make your truck look like a really nice owner operator truck.

Thanks Lee Thanks Chris Thanks JT yes I used the same sublime green on both of them but the bucket truck I used a grey primer instead of the white primer I used on the mixer so the bucket truck is a little bit darker.

Thanks Lee Thanks Graham Thanks JT. I have you to thank for the dump body paint.
