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.

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

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

Ahhh a Rubber Duck build....love it

[williamchevelleman1972]

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

A great project William...looking forward to more!

[72 Charger]

Are you putting the Mack on a Pete/KW chassis or are you scratching up a Mack one?

[gatorincebu]

  Now that is a big project! lol So are you going to get a 1/16th Ali Mcgraw to go in the sleeper?? Are you going to scratch build the tanker trailer?

 

 

    Be Well

[williamchevelleman1972]

Im not sure if im going to do the tanker lol but ive got the correct hood and cab now!

[72 Charger]

That's better William When you compare the two hoods together you can see that there is numerous differences . Is that 3D printed also ?

[williamchevelleman1972]

Yes its 3d printed as well.

[72 Charger]

I looks great William . Im scratch building a 1/14th R 700 . There is a thred somewhere on here . Cant wait to see the progress you make . I like your builds
