How huge? Floats in the front, too?

Agreed!

That should be an interesting video.

Looking really nice.

Looks really nice. I've heard these kits are an absolute bear to build!

Thanks, Dan.

Thanks, Tom.

I agree. Lots of little details that are really impressive in person.

Thanks, Tom. It was a learning experience.

Thanks, Jeff.

Maybe this isn't the thread to post this in, but whatever. Is it just me, or does that look like a Federation starship in the lower left corner of the photo? And what's that red car on the right?

Fantastic job.

Fantastic build. Lots of great details in this one.

Thanks, Charlie. Ken, the fifth wheel might be simple, but that lift mechanism sure isn't! As I was building mine, I was wondering what the load capacity was. Three tons? Five, maybe? Don't know. I have seen photos of Mack AC trucks with Renault FT17 tanks in the back, and those are 7.2 tons; but I don't know if those Army versions had heavier suspensions or not.

No, I don't. It was just a curiosity question.

Well, I guess it worked!

So, what is the load capacity of an actual 48ft spread axle flatbed trailer? I'm guessing from the photo, this one is probably "aluminum" and not "steel".

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the compliments. Jim, you won't be disappointed. The kit goes together well. Ken, what are you using for the fifth-wheel?

I didn't join because I never imagined that I would complete the 1926 Mack AC within the timeframe. Live & learn I guess.

Well, I don't know about outstanding, but thank you for the compliment. It does build up nicely right out of the box. I enjoyed this build, and I would build this kit again; but I think I would try to back date it to 1916.

Great looking combination, and great tribute.

Looks great, Jeff. Well done.

That would be cruel!

Thanks, guys. I'm pretty please with it.

Definitely want the F100 with the utility body, and might pick up one of those flatbed trailers.
