It's sarcastically called the "Australia tax". We Australians get stung way too much for cars. It's the way it is. He'd already signed the contract when the car failed on the show room floor. Seriously, I'm getting such poor service at the moment with my wife's car we are not purchasing another one from the certain company and dealerships we got it through. Considering we bought 3 new cars through them the treatment is really below par. Ben

He fund raised to pay the car out. I'm having difficulties with my wife's car ATM. It's not good. Won't be buying from that car company again. Ben

Check out sour krauts model truck stuff so you can lengthen the chassis. He stocks mack chassis rails to extend the amt macks. Ben

Looks pretty nice to me. Got to produce trucks that the majority likes though. I loved the look of those bussing and Krupp trucks. Never built one though. Some friends of mine have built them and they are top notch parts fit wise, etc. Ben

Very nice work on the carbon fibre. Looks awesome. Ben

That looks awesome. You might convert a few military modellers with that weathering. Ben

Very nice detail on the springs. Ben

I've seen a few "mackifications" of the Italeri chassis. Usually just mack crossmembers added, but I've also seem the chassis altered to look like an r series chassis by trimming the front area down to look like amt r series rails. Looks very convincing. The superliner kits look good with australian gear put on them such a s aircleaners. Hides the inaccurate dimensions of the cab pretty well. Ben

Nice. I'm glad you've got back into it. I hope tamiya does the porsche 918 to follow the carrera gt. Ben

Nice. Love your work. Ben

Nice save on the body work. You've inspired me to crack my second one open. It looks great. Cheers. Ben

Your carbon fibre looks pretty good to me. Ben

Very nice. Looking forward to more. Ben

Hopefully they reissue that version with extra decals. Ben

Check out Tim Ahlborn's stuff. He's on this forum and also has a website Tim's trucks. Plenty of info there. Ben

Very nice progress. Ben

Good looking car. Nice work. Ben

Nice work. Ben

Something I found. http://www.spencer1984.com/my_models/aoe-optimus-prime.php I reckon moebius wheels would look better for replacements. Also emailed Italeri re 5700 and they responded. It wasn't computer generated either which surprised me. Cheers. Ben

One with both the square tanks and round tanks and the spider or disc wheels and optional grass burner exhaust would be cool with heaps of decal options, stripes, Matlack etc would be cool. Ben

Lol

Pretty cool looking rig. Wonder if it will get kitted... Ben

MPC Mack DM 800 mixer Ertl International 4070a I'll have to get some from eBay one day. Hopefully they can reissue the DM800 mixer. Ben

That looks awesome. Better than my wiring looks. Will be visiting the jewellery shop tomorrow. Cheers Ben
