  1. Looks good. Ben
  2. Reminds me of a Mack SuperLiner crossed with a Kenworth W900. Looks ok to me. Hopefully someone models it. Ben
  3. Very nice weathering. I see you’ve raised the tag axle. I’ll try that with mine. I plan to have mine unloaded. Ben
  4. I wrecked the body on mine. I’m looking to get another one. The Revell McLaren I have is terribly warped too. Revell has The worst packaging. Ben
  5. Very cool! That engine bay turned out great. Ben
  6. I just ordered some Tamiya LP range of paint, LP-30 light sand. I thought I’d give that a whirl while at at trying a new style of kit. Ben
  7. I’m predicting the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta. Tamiya did the convertible F50. Another new car may be the Aston Martin DB11. Old or new, I’m sure it’ll be great. Ben
  8. Hopefully we will be able to paint the details instead of using the stickers. Ben
  9. Looking forward to this. Ben
  10. I just paid $100 Australian the other day for one from China. Hopefully mine arrives better than yours did. Ben
  11. Looks good. The kit seems to fit together nicely. I’ve ordered the HobbyBoss version. Only cost me $100 Australian including postage. Will most likely get an engine next pay. I’ve started gathering info and pics from the net. I’m not sure if I’m going to build mine in desert sand or post military life bright civilian colours. Ben.
  12. Very nice! I’m glad the DM800 is getting rereleased. I believe Mack and Scania shared the same engine block for the 673, 711, the E9 also. The V8 Scania sounds similar to an E9 Mack V8, just not as throaty. Ben
  13. The western r series of Mack had straight rails. I modified my 1/32 Rubber Duck. I haven’t finished her yet, still working on the 2 hole bud wheels. Here’s a pic of the frames I fabricated from a combination of looking at pictures and spec sheets.
  14. An example of an Australian truck with super singles on the front axle
  15. We use super singles on the steer axles in Australia. Ben
  16. I’m definitely getting the hobbyboss version next pay. Ben
  17. I knew about the super singles and trailers. They’re certainly holding their cards close to their chest with an actual big rig subject. I remember when the lonestar was being developed, the pictures were on the net. It was great to see the tooling being developed. We can only hope. Ben
  18. Cheers Art. That’s awesome you guys are willing to share information with consumers. I’m looking forward to more projects. I’m truly hoping for another big rig. A Mack Anthem and or Granite would be a treat. Regards Ben
  19. Thanks everyone! Ben
  20. You won’t regret it. I stuffed up the decals. I want to do another one to learn about decals. Ben
  21. I’m calling this done. The decals were awful. I gave up using them all. I would love to do another one with the after market photo etch. Positive factors include working out my airbrush, and getting the body work right pleased me. Cheers Ben
  22. Good. Hopefully they get to the 1/32 big rig range Ben
  23. Awesome result for a first build! Ben
  24. The only thing that I’m struggling with on this kit is the decals. I’ve had a few go wrong, might be operator error not the decals. Ben
