gino Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) hello all, here is a b75 mack. I call it my big dog. the resin cab, fuel tanks, and buzzin dozen v-12 twin turbo deetriot was purchased from Spaulding way back when. the stencil decals also came from Spaulding. I cut out the molded in hood and fabbed a replacement from sheet brass. I also made the hood hinges from brass tubing. the cab was mounted onto a amt diamond reo frame. the rear suspension and the rear ends from the reo kit were also used as well as the spoke rear rims. revell Germany tires were used all the way around. the front axle which is poseable is also a revell Germany unit. the exaust stacks and quarter fenders are from the snap kw aerodyne kit. I painted it green + black which is my favorite colors for a B mack. I am thinking about replacing the front steers with moebius units I have left over which I think might look better. not sure yet. I also may change the front bumper to the original one or to a texas style. an italeri freightliner bumper sits on there now. hope you guys like it and thanks for looking.

The Modeling Hermit Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 If it was any better I'd think you had a shrink ray and some poor fellow was out looking for his truck. You did good.
gatorincebu Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Gino, As much as I love the old COE's. I also love the old Bulldogs. The B series was great. I rode many a mile in a B-61 in the early seventies.moving my excavator around. This model is really well done! Be Well Gator
gino Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Fine job. Great looking buildIf it was any better I'd think you had a shrink ray and some poor fellow was out looking for his truck. You did good. Gino, As much as I love the old COE's. I also love the old Bulldogs. The B series was great. I rode many a mile in a B-61 in the early seventies.moving my excavator around. This model is really well done! Be Well Gatorthanks guys !my dad had a nice b67 back in the day. I got to drive it around the yard and on local roads.he showed me how to shift twin stick. it helps to have been around real trucks, then models come out better because you know what they really look like.
kilrathy10 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Oh, yeah....That came out great.....Beautiful.....Just beautiful....
