Ack! Ack-ack! Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 In 1970 Mack introduced a very attractive stars and stripes paint scheme. Ertl's and later AMT's box artwork of their DM 800 kit always showed this peculiar paint scheme. All issues of the DM 800 had the the same decal sheet including a lot of white stripes in order to make replicating the stars and stripes paint scheme easier. When I built the kit about 20 years ago as one of my very first truck models I used only the decal stars because masking and painting the stripes turned out to be easier than applying the decal stripes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseeJerry55 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Very, very, nice. I had the Mixer kit back in the 1970's. Sadly I never built it. My loss for sure. Edited February 4, 2020 by JerseeJerry55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
