Bennyg Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Hi fellas. I have a soft spot for 1/32 trucks and especially Mack trucks of any scale. I'm considering doing a 1/32 Mack Super-Liner hood conversion for the Australian version and maybe the American version. The cab on the Revell R series is vastly superior to the AMT cab but the AMT cab has a great day cab panel. What are your thoughts?

Old Buckaroo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Howdy Benny,I really dont know much about these Mack's - I do have the AMT hid away somewhere. I would imagine a "day panel conversion" would be welcomed for the Revell kit as it looks like the sleeper is molded to the cab. A 60" Able body sleeper would be really cool. There seems to be more guys over at Hanks that build 1/32 trucks and you might get more feedback . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennyg Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 I've made a small start on this. I've moulded "Mack" badges. Plan to do bullet lights tomorrow. Planning the cab and bonnet as well. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I Like the Idea, but would be hard pressed to join in.You are correct in that the Monogram/Revell R does have the Sleeper cast as part of the cabI had to fill in the rear of the cab when I bashed one with the Pumper kit from themI removed the sleeper to use on another project.

I'm doing this for myself anyway. I definitely want to do an Australian conversion bonnet, day cab panel and maybe an Australian sleeper. Will see how it turns out.

Bennyg Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) gHi fellas. I've made a start on this side project. Plan to cast the Mack bullet marker lights and the day cab panel to give some options for the revell Mack R series. Cheers Ben Edited August 30, 2018 by Bennyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrigger Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Keep the photos coming, Like it so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 Keep the photos coming, Like it so far!Cheers for the support. I am looking at doing an American version combining the front section of the amt cab with the he remaining Revell r series cab. Do you reckon people would like that as a possible conversion? Maybe I should mould the amt chassis without the reyco back end? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Day cab panel is almost done. Needs a bit more neatening up then I'll cast it when I get home. Edited August 30, 2018 by Bennyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) I'm casting the day cab panel, super-liner hood/bonnet and bullet lights this fortnight. Here are some pics. Edited August 30, 2018 by Bennyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) A little more progress. Making the American super liner cab. Combining revell and Amt cab parts. This is intended to fit with the revell r series. Edited August 30, 2018 by Bennyg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Gore Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Hi Ben, I dug that old model out and took some pictures. I guess it's more "road warrior / post apoc / technical" than militarized.
