1959scudetto Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I don't know if the original ever existed, but in the late 80's I resprayed my (then ERTL) DM600, swapped dump body, plow and salt spreader from amt's Ford and voilà (decals are also from the Ford snow-plow). Spare wheel is from Italeri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1959scudetto Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Very nice built Mack DM 600. Mine came in the mail yesterday not sure how im going to build it. Did you have any issues with the build? Dan, it's more than 25 years now, but as far as I can remember, there were no big issues as early ERTL kits went together very well. I don't know about the reissue, but my version had lots and lots of chrome parts, far more than a workhorse would ever have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 One will be getting a dump bed and another a mixer, I might get a few more for maybe a crane truck or a removeable container truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the above pics thinking this was the truck you wanted to replicate, till I finally realised that this is the model that you have built !!!

doogie7046 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks guys. This was an original built up that I restored and I am happy to see that it was reissued. So many variations you can build with this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
