MAN Trucks in the USA?

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? -
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?????

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??
