Warren D Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Count me in though I'll have to figure out a worthy project. Got too many of them but I also don't want to take on too much. The Rubber Duck Mack was over a year......but the Autocar DK was only a couple of months (though I was sick for 3 weeks which gave me plenty of build time).

gotnitro? Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 Warren D - thanks for joining up I added ya to the list . That 761 was part of Syracuse's fleet, unsure when the photo was taken. I figured it was a nysdot truck, but guess they didnt run 5 hole budds on their trucks according to an enthusiast. Sam - I m trying to stay on task, but struggle with willpower when something interesting comes along lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 I updated the first post to add the entrants and builds . I'll continue to update as the builds are chosen Have a Merry Christmas everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey429 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 After the mix up with the topic in the Truck Stop that I just discovered (go look in the 53 foot trailer topic, D'oh!) I'm in too. Don't know quite with what yet but I'm thinking it'll either be a Kenworth W925 or one of the many gluebombs I have to rebuild. Leaning toward the KW.

Pete68 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Well since I’m on a 1/32 scale kick I’m in with this AITM 1/32 scale Mack R-700 big radiator with a Mercury Sleeper I got from Dave A couple weeks ago. I’m waiting for the 5 hole front wheels from Don Mills. There will be some changes as I go because I’m undecided about the tanks, air cleaner and wheel base.
