Man that turned out NICE! really a sharp build,the fit of the hood/cab looks great too!.........................................Mark

Pogo stick looks great Sean! what did you use for the glad-hand ends?........................................Mark

Pretty sure the kit trans. represents an Allison 3000HR 4-speed automatic,but not 100% sure on that.........................Mark

Forgot to add the pic of the Ford kit,this body MAY be a little short,but might be adaptable to your needs?............................Mark

Those wheels are indeed correct for a 60 Chevy 0ne ton truck,the wheels and tires would probably have to be gotten from one of the resin casters? I don't know of a good kit source for those. There are several kit versions available for the truck though. The stakebody would probably be best scratch-built,but there are a few kits that had one that may work,the Lindberg 34 Ford truck has one very similar.............................Mark

I agree with the others Sean,nice color choice! coming along nicely........................................Mark

Try RIT brand clothing dye,works good for me on tinting windows,not sure if they offer yellow though?....................................Mark

Made a great trade with Lucas (Trick My Mixer) great trader,would'nt hesitate at all to make a future deal!................................Mark

Sam,i've seen that place,you were only a short distance from my house!............................Mark

I want a few of those sleepers for up-coming projects,kinda curious to know how well the chrome will hold up at the attachment points,when you cut it off the sprues?..................................................Mark

UPS man brought my most recent bonanza from the "bay" today! been wanting these for a while now,built most of them when I was a kid,but thought maybe now I'd do a LITTLE better job on them! already had the tanker and log truck,so now the set is complete!.......................................Mark

I need a TON of the round turn-signals!.................................................Mark

X2,i wouldn't mind having one of those White 4000 hoods!.........................Mark

I agree with Clayton,a set of doubles CAN be backed up,not the easiest thing in the world to do,but not imposible either. I drove a wrecker when I was younger,and have actually backed a tractor/trailer behind the wrecker into many a shop....................................Mark

Here's a Volvo D-13,pretty close to DD green I think?...............................Mark

Jim,a friend of mine has a 2000 Volvo with a Volvo engine,it is almost the same color a DD Alpine green or what I would describe as "hospital green"...................................Mark

That's some nice work,especially for a first kit!.................................Mark

Looking good Sean! I like that color!....................................Mark

Magnadyne-Gasoline=Green 1940's/50's Themrodyne-Diesel-Gray,Dark Gray 1950's/60's Maxidyne-Diesel=Mack Metallic Gold (Engine and trans.) 1960's/70's E-Series-Diesel=Gray,Dark Gray1980's/90's MP-Series (current) some are red/black,some are Mack Gray1990's/current Macks vendor engines (IE: Cat,Cummins,Detroit) were installed in chassis in the color of the brand of particular maker,a Caterpillar engine is very rare in a Mack,but were installed........................................Mark

The early Magnadyne (gas) Mack engines were indeed green,the later (modern) Mack engines are gray (The E-7 in my CX is gray) Krylon "Smoke" gray is a good match,i use it for touch up on the actual engine. Personally,i have never had any problems with Krylon etching the plastic I kits,but may be the primer you're using?..........................Mark

The Cummins engine in the D/R should be Cummins Engine beige, a light tan color (Krylon Khaki is a good match) Only truck maker that I know of that painted their engines gold is Mack,the late 60s through the early 70's Hope that helps!.......................Mark

As a "dye in the wool Mack man" my compliments on an outstanding model! an integral sleeper B-Model has long been on my wishlist to build. I cannot see one thing that looks out of place,and glad the Mack Museum was able to provide refrence material,they are great people to deal with..................................Mark

That's a good one! don't see many Kenworth C-500 "Brutes" anymore!.........................................Mark

Casey,Mack has installed radiator/grille guards as an option on trucks since the 1900's meant to protect the radiator/hood from damage primarily on vocational trucks,ie: dumps,mixers,wreckers etc. Here are a couple examples on early Macks, an AK-6 and a later L-series and the ever popular B-Model...................................Mark

That's a very nice build especially for a first! my first was nowhere near that nicely built! I agree on the color choice too,looks great. Welcome to the hobby,we are all here to help!............................................Mark
