The one you've got pics of was done by a friend that I trade parts with, Ernie Hastas. He helped me with the badging you see in my parts. Ernie Gave me info on what modifications to make, paint to use etc,. He's a good fella and always helps others. Ben Ben

Hi fellas. Here is my build off truck. 1988 Australian Bicentenial Mack Super-Liner "Ned Kelly". Will be using a combination of AMT, Italeri and aftermarket parts from Auslowe. Ben

It's a pity for the truck guys that's all that's coming out. Would be cool to see a new modern American truck (sorry if this is the wrong place to mention it). I'm very pleased with the AMG and McLaren though.

A bit of a let down. Only the 1/32 aerodyne. http://www.plastik-modellbau.org/blog/revell-neuheiten-2016/2016/ Ben

Awesome! Looking forward to these. Ben

Wow. Really enjoying this craftsmanship. Ben

Nice work. I've got one on the go as well. Ben

First one was an amt Mack Super-Liner. My dad is a sign writer and he put my name and our family phone number on the door. Ben

Cheers. I'm doing this for myself anyway. I definitely want to do an Australian conversion bonnet, day cab panel and maybe an Australian sleeper. Will see how it turns out. Ben

Cheers. I used tamiya acrylic x7 and xf7 mixed 1:1 and airbrushed it. Ben

I've made a small start on this. I've moulded "Mack" badges. Plan to do bullet lights tomorrow. Planning the cab and bonnet as well. Ben

Very nice. Ben

Very nice work mate. Ben

I'm getting a spray booth because of you. Going to use your methods for my 918 build after I finish my tamiya gullwing. Ben

Nice work. Always great to see "in progress" shots. Love the work with the radiator and airbags. Ben

I'm building this one box stock. I'd like to do a fully detailed one later on when my skills are better. I'm surprised there haven't been more on the forum. Ben

You've hit the nail on the head.

Nice. Will be watching. Ben

I'm not familiar with Hank's. Cheers for the response.

I think you have the best points on this. I've personally purchased 3 LoneStars and 1 Prostar. I've built 1 LoneStar box stock, built 1 as a KW T904 and have another Lonestar in progress becoming a KW T904and a Prostar on the bench as well. Im looking at doing some 1/32 Mack parts for myself and thought if they turn out they might be worth casting but have had no one give me feedback on whether it's a good idea or not. Plan to do it for myself anyway. Ben

A bit of progress. I need to spray the body again tonight.

Hopefully Moebius and Italeri release something new in 2016. I'm hanging for Drake to release the K200 Kenworth and Drake Low Loader. Ben

Hi fellas. I have a soft spot for 1/32 trucks and especially Mack trucks of any scale. I'm considering doing a 1/32 Mack Super-Liner hood conversion for the Australian version and maybe the American version. The cab on the Revell R series is vastly superior to the AMT cab but the AMT cab has a great day cab panel. What are your thoughts?

I got one of the re issues. Would get another one straight away. They are up for silly money on eBay. Ben

That would be a dream come true. DM800 would be great as well. Ben
