Hi fellas. I’m entering the BRBO 2022 with a rebuilder I got off eBay last year. It’s a 1/32 Mack SuperLiner. I will be adding after market wheels and tyres, photo etch badges, aluminium exhaust pipes. Still deciding on colours.

Very nice Benny I’ll be following along

Really nice to see another 1/32 kit in progress here. I'm looking forward to seeing it progress.

I recall that is an AMT kit isn't it? I can understand why you're going for new wheels and tyres, the AMT ones are unacceptably small. The frame looks good on that though, better than the generic one in the Monogram Snap-Tite kits.

It’s an old school AMT kit from 1981 I believe. This is my favourite kit.

Can we get an up-date on your project?

Thanks

   Rog?

As soon as I’ve finished uni for the year, it’ll be back on my bench.

Made a proper start on this. Cleaning up the cab mould lines and sink holes. Not too bf considering it’s 40 years old. I hope Round 2 finds these and rerelease these again.

More progress. I’ve selected the wheels I’m using and figured out the colours I’m paining it. Getting rid of the sink holes and improvements to the cab shape. Still a fair bit to go. Cheers

Are they the Fujimi accessory kit wheels and tyres? Look good. 

Aoshima 8 hole aluminium. They’re great.

Aoshima, that's what I was thinking of but I'm at that age. I once called a girl named Annabelle, "Doorbell" because that was how I remembered her name. It wasn't well received.

This is the colour of the cab. I don’t think I’ll finish in time, but at least I’m ahead for 2023 as per my time zone.
