JerseeJerry55 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 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.

JerseeJerry55 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Just now, 4mula1fan said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mula1fan Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I didn't notice on mine. I was concerned on how the hood fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hood is a cool design with the fold and flip design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also did you build them as DM model construction types or U model freight trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
