Question in regard to the MPC Mack DM600

[JerseeJerry55]

Hello all hope everyone is well. I have a question in regard to the MPC Mack DM600. For the cab has anyone out there who has built the model had an issue with the cab sitting level over the interior bucket? I've seen some examples on the internet where if look at a picture of the back of the cab it appears off kilter. I have attached an example. It could be the camera angle of the picture.

You mean sitting to the left?

No. I know the cab was set that way. It just looks as if there is a slight tilt as if it's not sitting level.

I didn't notice on mine. I was concerned on how the hood fit.

Thanks. So the question now becomes how did the hood end up fitting?

Here are my 6 color choices. Frame will be semi gloss Black.

I don't recall any issues. The hood is a cool design with the fold and flip design.

I would take some pics of mine, but it's buried in my model case that is buried in the corner of my shop. Lol

Jerry I didn’t have any problems with the 2 I built this year. You need to make sure that you get the rear cab support level and square with the frame.

Thanks. I heard the front axle can be a bit fiddly. Any tips you can offer? Also did you build them as DM model construction types or U model freight trucks.
