Chu Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) First of all is an honor to be part of this contest with all of you my fellow builders. This is going to be a challenge for me because is my first attempt to built a Italieri Mack Superliner outside the box. I'm going to use a AITM 55,000 LB suspension and mack six spoke wheels. I also going to swap the engine for a Cat 3406 from the KW aerodyne , I'm looking for a flat top sleeper for this project, mack dm 600 front emblem and bulldog ornament. Thanks for looking Jesus Edited April 21, 2016 by Chu
Bennyg Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Photo etch Mack badge set with a white metal bulldog would be the go. Auslowe sells them. Also Google around for articles on making the superliner more genuine of you like. Looking forward to seeing another super-liner. Ben
