herehttp://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s430/pete3522/Rubber%20Duck%20Mack/100_3074.jpg]http://s the hood

http://">http://well i found a convoy mack lot on ebay which was perfect for this build has the resin 2 hole buds resin dual air tanks on the battery boxes also included in this lot was the ertl incorrect convoy mack which some of the parts were already used from it such as the bull bumper the grille wasnt used but to my suprise this mack has a metal western grille?? But any way i got it with a aitm 60" sleeper which the exhaust cut out was made but i will not use this as this would be incorrect! I will scratch build a sleeper. Besides the incorrect almost complete kit i got on this lot was the correct convoy decal sheet from www.modeltrucken.com plus a decal sheet which covers all mack models made then to my suprise a itareli western star was thrown in almost complete think i got a steal for what i paid!! But any way so far i took another hood cause the one that came with it everything was epoxyed in heavily which melted the hood around the headlights and grille so i used one of the hoods out of the previous mack lot i bought i extended it 5/8 of a inch on the back side which i think it looks good as you will see in the pics next i have to fabricate new fuel tanks as the stock step barrel tanks were used which is incorrect.Well heres where i am at so farhttp://

everything i look at and want on that site is always sold out

amt kenworth w-925

i think i will make this out of thin cardboard as a mock up before i build it from styrene

http://think i am goin to add a 3/4 or a inch to the back of the hood the sleeper is 50" it scales to 2 7/16 " length if igured 3 1/2 inches height width is 3 7/16 i went off the real sleeper measurements then used a scale calculator this i will scratch build when i am sure the measurements are correct i also have to figure the exhaust cut out on the right side

ok thanx

think i have the hood scaled right its 2 1/8 to make it the rs-700l hood it would have to be 2 1/2 scale inches so i would have to add 1/4 to the back of the hood think i am right i figured that out on a scale calculator

wow thats awesome kurt especially the trailer

anthony nice mack did you build the excavator?? I am goin to make one out of a new ray excavator reason i am asken i was wandering where you got the decals and the cat paint??

yep heres my bluehttp://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s430/pete3522/Pete%20359%20metal%20cab/100_3011.jpg]http://

Thanx for that info anthony i thought it was cummins too now as far as suspenion i am not sure but i might buy the revell peterbilt snap and use the frame and suspension air ride and put a cummins in it i can always use the cat engine for other projects put some 2 whole buds on it that would be a good start

nice anthony i did the double sleeper gmc astro to

http://I finally got the macks today.I bought a set of 2 pretty reasonable only catch is the frame and chasis"s arent included but i have some some truck frames chasis.s etc the engines etc are in the kit i aint sure if this rd mack had a cummins or the maxidyne engine ???not sure Also do all macks have the camel back rear suspension and the upside down differentionals??(thats what i call them) But did some have a walking beam or air ride suspension as petes ,kws etc have????I was thinken i would just take a pete frame with the air ride put underneath it maybe use the mack engine and scratch build the sleeper i have all the real truck dimensions for the sleeper just have to scale it down .Let me know if any of you know about macks or waht the real rd truck has engine wise etc. Im thinken if i add a 1/4 inch in fornt of one of these hoods it should scale right not sure??http://
