Mike77 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I've wondered about the quality of those 3D-printed cabs. I see the Mack is on Ebay and the KW Aerodyne COE was on there recently. I'm not a huge fan of resin so how do these compare? Are they closer to resin or styrene? The subject matter is so limited in 1/16 that I welcome these as long as they're practical to use.

williamchevelleman1972 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yeah its the 3D printed cab from ebay. I had the guy hold it for me until I had the money to buy it. They are made of plastic. The hood required quite a bit of wet sanding do to a lot of roughness in it. Its not to thin on the cab or hood and I got the dash with it along with other small pieces. It was worth the money and I just hope it turns out nice when im done lol. And It came with the grill as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Charger Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That hood you have is more like a R 600 not an R 700 . The differences are small but make a huge difference to the end result if you wanted to do a Rubber Duck truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twokidsnosleep Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Ahhh a Rubber Duck build....love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamchevelleman1972 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I know the hoods are different but if I cant get another hood for this model thats right then ill make it as best as I can or do a different style mack. Thanks for all the complements everyone! And if I can fix the hood or make it were its right I will. Im not gonna build something not correct to what it is supposed to be. lol Edited August 7, 2015 by williamchevelleman1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
