Al NJ Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I’ve built model cars on and off since I was a kid, but never a truck, meaning a big truck or semi. So I was thinking of getting a model of a Mack B model, (tractor), and I’m surprised that I haven’t been able to find one, either a newer issue or an older issue. Kind of hard to believe one has never been produced. So I guess I need an education. We’re there ever any made? What’s available? Resin? Thanks, Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Austin Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 FWIW, First Gear did a 1:25 Mack B wrecker diecast collectible in various liveries some time ago. (Just keep in mind much of First Gear's lineup is in the oddball 1:34 scale.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al NJ Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 I looked up American Industrial Truck Models. Looks like real nice stuff. I guess I’ll get to see some of it in person at NNL East next Saturday. I’ll check out the First Gear B models also. I guess online. In the meantime I picked up an AMT Mack R685ST and a White Freightliner cabover at Hobby Lobby. (Two models, two trips with the coupon, lol) Thanks again for the information.

TECHMAN Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 AL, You won't be disappointed in DAVE'S products (AITM}. Have ordered several of his cab-kits, and various transmissions, engines, and small parts. If everyone was as good to deal with as he is, and their products as high quality as his, you wouldn't even need a "complaint department"!!!! Look forward to seeing which B-model you choose!!!!
