I'm glad you told us they are limited i'll buy 2 just in case. thanks for the info.

I seen them on ebay too. I think I'm going to buy it.

nice pete! I see you made the front axle steerable and you even added the little strips on the sides of the windshield.i always wondered why amt left that little windshield detail out.

very nice DM! excellent color choice for that truck.

hello Jason and welcome. your charger looks awesome! now all you need is a general lee.

awesome! I like the way it looks with the snow in the back ground the snow really makes the colors pop! kind of looks like the driver may have dropped the trailer down at the terminal and bobtailed home for the weekend.lol!

did your friend actually build a real crane? I can't believe that's a model!

the heater box would be the same color as the interior, in that year mack the interior would have been a light green. plastheniker used the correct green for that vintage of mack.on his f model day cab in the under glass section.

hello dave I have an update on the heater box for you.the kit has two heater boxes one small one bigger.i never knew that until now.i quickly assembeled both to show you the size difference.the dm 800 has no dog house in it.however with the dm 600 using the doghouse and smaller heater box. it still dos'nt fit right.that might be why they left it out of the instructions.but with a little trimming to the doghouse it should fit just fine.both the mpc and the reissued model king have both heater boxes.the black one in the picture is from the mpc kit.the white one is from the model king.i hope I posted this in time before your final assembly. hope this helps

ok just checked my dm 600 kit the model king reissue.your right there is no direction for the heater box.but their is one in the kit.we had dm's in are fleet years ago.and that's where the heaters were always mounted.the heater box don't sit flush with the dash.the front of the heater box will stick out pass the dash a little.so you can go by the instructions for the dm 800 I sent you earlier..hope this helps.

dave the dm 600 and the dm 800 are the same cab.the heater box would go in the same place. the dm cabs.were also the same as the mack u models their wasn't much room between the dog house and the heater box. I have a dm600 kit its the model king reissue i'll go check the instructions.

WOW! awesome.looking forward to seeing more of your builds.

I have those moments some times myself.lol!

dave I looked in one of my mpc dm 800 kits and uploaded a picture of the instructions for you

dave. the heater box mounts under the center of the dash between the driver and passenger seats.that would be for all the ertle dm models and the amt r models.hope this helps.

nice clean build! looks like you got the ol'freightliner fever.

nice!

wow! now that's an amazing idea.thanks for sharing.

hello again dave.just for the fun of it I googled it.and found that there isn't much info on this truck.what I did find out is it was avalible with all the v8s cummins, IH,detroit. and cat. and it seems it was only avalible with a 66"bbc.i hope this helps.

hello dave from what I remember international called this truck a transtar 4100.it got the nic name conco from being half conventional half cabover.as far as it being avalible with a v8 I don't know.i only ever seen one In person once.and it had a 350 cummins.the chassie would be the same as the international 4200 or 4300.

very,very,nice! you even got the interior color correct. just amazing! a one stack mack with a window in the back.

very nice chris! your paint jobs come out really awesome! do you use an airbrush or rattle can?

awesome paint job! macks were always my favorite too.spent a lot years driving R models.they didn't ride that well,but they looked good,and ran forever!

look'in good john! how cool would it be if cummins built one of these after seeing your build? don't forget to put in a thicker driveshaft.that motor your building looks like it'll make a twizzler out of the stock one.

the reissued international 4300 has something very close to what your showing.it's #99 on the chrome sprue.there's 2 of them in the kit.there used for interior door grab handles.
