Ya i know your lucky if you get the paint or a couple parts for $10,00 now!!! LOL

wow thats nice

Ty for the link Ben i cant believe they primed the injector pump and that started and it still moves thats insane! Wander what happened to the kw i cant find info on it??? Maybe i will do the mack lol

that aint bad for 169.00 i still think i am just goin to build mine. one thing i dont like about resin the hood and cab are one piece !! Looks like that kit just has the bottom half of the engine and tranny??/

sounds like you got a good deal we dont have a hobby stores close except michaels all they carry is cars and the snap together pete 359 I get everything off evil bay

well think i will tackle the tractor first then the trailer i have seen people use the 1/32 mack monogram its pretty close i just like the 1/25 version better

ya i just got a orignal wrapped great dane ertl dry good van with a $7.99 that must have been bought in the 70s I bought it off evil bay

nice detail

wow thats amazing great detail work

I was just figuring out some 1/25 scale measurements tank trailer 36' = 1' 5" length!! I never knew the y made 36' trailers Next was the sleeper the sleeper measurment i have 1:1 scale is 50" which = 2" length . I noticed above on that model pic you have says 60" wander which ones correct?

k thanx! I looked on sauerkrauts before everything always says out of stock

I think those trucks are 4cyl diesel?? The cabs are made out of plywood!! If you watch the ice road truckers i think its called dangerous roads or curves??any way the hot blonde chick (Kelly) drives the one Has to be hard to go to a foreign plywood underpowered box from a w-900 studio sleeper i think kelly shifted that piece of junk more then the w-900 and it was maybe a 2 ton straight truck?

K jerry ty i can do that

Justin have you built this ertl version of the rd mack??

I am 45 i just got back into modeling 2 yrs ago I statred when i was 8yrs old .Me and my dad would go in a old store called woolworths dont know if anyone heard of this??And k-mart also !But they carried all the amt kits for $10.00 or under.Well i had collected all theses kits some were un-painted until i got older and a hold of a paint can then advanced to the minature spray gun ! I had every amt kit and revell kit and the monogram 1/16 series when i moved alot of them were losing parts and i threw them all in the garbage !!SMACK i could kick myself int the now for what i see these kits for on evil bay I even had all the monogram 1/32 pete and kw models and the amt 1/43 models i just threw them all in the garbage. The only place close to me that carries any model semi trucks is Michaels they carry the 359 revell snap kit they ask 25.00 for it which isnt bad compared to evil bay ive seen people tryen to get $200.00 out of them But thats wgy i buy used stuff on evil bay i cant afford to pay over $50.00 a kit i think it is ridiculus what theses kits go for if i have to pay $500.00 for a plastic model i will give this up and buy the real trucks lol

nah the foreign trucks suck i wouldnt even build that glad im in the us lmao I like the ice road truckers especially Kelly and the kw -900s but i didnt like the ice trucker hard roads i believe it is not into those foreign trucks to drive or build

you have to be kidding me??? by the way we are going to do some business soon i need some decals I need the "Movin ON " i need the correct version for the 60"bunk not the amt one And the bj and the bear truck and trailer decals and the smokey and bandit trailer decals any chance of a bulk purchase discount?????

even as a teen i was upset with this build its off by a mile the only thing close is the bumper and the grill and hood ornament lol It looks like someone put it in the crusher and shrunk it compared to the real deal

justin heres the actual pictures of this kit not sure if you ever saw this or built it it actually uses the sleeper of the ertl international 4300 eagle hard to believe people pay over $200.00 plus for this on evil bay NOW LOOK AT THE REAL MACK IS THIS EVEN CLOSE?? ?

I have another pic somewhere of a actual b-61 mack restored with a 110" condo on it looks awesome

cool kw i actually had those specs on my old comp but i lost the info when i bought the new on e ty

I always wanted build the r model mack amt kit.I recently purchased 2 kits off evil bay so i was trying to decide what to with them. One i am going to make into the convoy rubber duck mack! I believe they are amt r-685 not sure if thats correct?? When i was a teen i built the ertl version which is so incorrect even the decals are wrong the sleepers is incorrect its a u-600 with the cab favoring the left the hoods way to short spoke wheels etc !! Cant belive what people pay for these on evil bay??lol But anyway i am going to build this correctly alot of fab work etc.The other mack i might make it into a lowboy tractor or i might stretch it put a condo on it dunno??

ty justin im doin a restore on a can-do i opened all the doors sleeper compartments etc now those stripes sucked it took a few hrs just on the bed and a few on the cab etc

ok justin is there a website with info on this??Even if i dont build this i am curious about the actual rebuild

I dont know about that justin look at american trucker tv show website they had a show where they found the mack and towed it to a truck show they are suppose to restore it!! Its all mack from what i see look at www.evilknievel.com theirs pics on there of the mack and speedtv american trucker
