this kit is a challenge for a lot of people
but when you work normal and no rush than comes it good , also the trailer is trickey [ the tank ] so look good how to do
i think at the end there wil be a nice model on the bench

so , thats a monster of a engine
its was a very nice day to put the primer on the cab
question about the engine , i think i can use the engine of the donorkit , have see a brochure where different engine,s type was printed [ V6-V8 ] so i think that is good
here a picture of the cab with a trailerfront old style to use for a old trailer [ not for the gmc ]
also a leader to build on the back

i can only say , he is great to deal with
orderd and in no time it was delivered and i say from the usa to holland in 4-5 day,s [ i known that the post must also want to work ] but its alway,s nice and good protected when its here
and if you ask something about how ore what it must be he answer [ sometime,s with a pictue ]
if its in stock you wil see it
for me it is a good shop for some very nice conversions to build also the other parts

so now and than i work on this mack
i have first pe steps but i don,t like it when the are on the fueltank,s
so take them af and repaint the tank,s and make step,s from plastic
i work now slowly because i have a lot of trubble,s with my back [ how cal you guy,s worn out or so ] and there is nothing to do on it said the specialist from the hospital
picture,s
and so i work slowly and also other projects and like it to finishd these old truck,s

here in holland we have someone how have do that work on a daf [ 1960 old truck ]
he said its a lot of work to get this smooth because its nylon and very hard , not fine to sandit like the normal kits material , he have put a couple of primers on and sand it and than again primer before its smooth and and good to put the paint on
the material its self is hard and its difficult to get it nice because its poraus and small wels [ if i say it right ]
i have some 3d printed wheels and the are nice for tyre,s because the its like a surface thats normal for a tyre
for cab,s and more i dont like it [ but thats my opinion ] to much work for a nice build before you have a result
you can not work with it like you do for a normal kit ore resin
