Pete68 Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 I’ve been working on this for a little over two years thought I’d try to finish this thing up I’m leaning more towards the 1/32 scale due to the size and Limited space I have The truck is a JMT promotional truck and the frame is a monogram 1/32 scale R Model Mack that I’ve modified and added the tanks to. The interior is zinc chromate green and the gearshift knobs or pale green enjoy the pics
Tesla Posted November 29, 2019 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Looks real nice! Edited November 29, 2019 by Tesla
Pete68 Posted November 29, 2019 Author Posted November 29, 2019 Got some more done on it this morning. Accented the chrome parts installed the interior, add the Don Mills decals to the side of the hood and some other odds and ends
Pete68 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 Going to call it a day with this dog. Next up I’ll be adding some resin rear wheels from Dave at AITM
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Looks Great!! I hope that I can get one to look that good in 1/25th some day!
Pete68 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 Thanks Brian This goes together much Easier than 1/25 scale and there’s no guessing on the windshield and such and trying to fit other parts. Another reason I like this 1/32 scale it’s a space saver and you don’t have much revenue invested in it I’ve just about gave up on 1/25 scale.
Pete68 Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 Got the resin wheels ready for paint a few more extra parts and I’m going to go walk this dog
redneckrigger Posted December 1, 2019 Posted December 1, 2019 Fantastic work! I've never seen a 1/32 B Model.......awesome!
Pete68 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 Thanks it’s almost like a first gear B Mack but made of plastic very cool to tear apart and re build
Pete68 Posted December 1, 2019 Author Posted December 1, 2019 Today I added the Wheels, Battery Boxes, Stack, Air Cleaner, Air Tank and Tail Lights a few more things and I’m calling it done
Pete68 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Posted December 2, 2019 Thanks Tesla putting the mirrors on then it will be finished
PettyKW43 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 This is a great looking little truck ! I myself have been picking up several of the 1/32 and 1/43 scale kits not only for space but also some less involved projects! Nice work!
Pete68 Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys Me too, I’m kinda getting tired of building model kits with almost 300 parts after about 40 years of building these kinda kits I’m really liking this 1/32 scale and 1/43 low parts count kits. I have built a lot of them when I was a kid. I will have more 1/32 trucks on the bench soon. I’m working on the mirror brackets now than this one will be done Edited December 21, 2019 by Pete68

Bennyg Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Looks really good. I’ll have to get a hold of one. Ben
Pete68 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Today I re-visited this old build and decided to add a Don Mills Winch to it. I’m going try to get this thing off the bench Edited March 28, 2021 by Pete68
rekcirb13 Posted March 28, 2021 Posted March 28, 2021 Lee, nice job on this conversion!! You can do a lot with those JMT Mack tankers! Keep up the good work!
Pete68 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Posted March 29, 2021 Bob. Thanks for the complement yes I enjoy doing different things with these JMT Mack’s. I’ll have another that I’ll be building after this one but it will be a single axle.
Rockford Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 To mix species, your Bulldog is a real chunky monkey, looks great. On a shelf, in your collection that will look as good as anything else. I bought the 1/32 Monogram trucks because I had them when I was a kid and was sorry I ever got rid of them. I find them quite enjoyable and deliver a decent result with a bit of effort. You can't go nuts on detailing because it's not there! I like that you can mock them up without gluing anything so you can finish your day's work and sit looking at it. The size difference makes a difference too. Lot to be said for them.
gatorincebu Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 Lee, That is an interesting little kit. I really like the winch you added. It really makes the truck in my opinion ! Be Well Gator
Pete68 Posted April 29, 2021 Author Posted April 29, 2021 Gator. I have to agree with you looks better with the winch I need to put the cable on it and the mirrors and call it done

I use braided fishing line from Muskie Master . Be Well Gator
