Really sharp truck ! 

Is that nub on front fenders supposed to be a reflector ?

Thanks for pointing that out Jeff they are and Revell instructions call for them to be painted. I guess that’s why I said it was 99% finished. Lol.

I’ve fixed the nubs. 

[tbill]

Perfect ?

[Mopar - D]

I’ve been taking advantage of the nice painting weather here for the Mack. 

[TruckerAL]

I love that mack, heading in a great direction. How did you paint the spokes? I always have difficulty doing it

[Mopar - D]

Thanks Alex, I start with painting the rims first and with a small brush slowly paint the spokes. I find putting the tires on the rims makes it easier to hold on to them while painting. 

[slusher]

Looks awesome Dan..

Nailing this build ! That steel hood mack looks perfect hauling the slump on its back

Hth on the KW nubs too..wasnt sure what they were for 

[DRIPTROIT 71]

I think that's where I've been messing up. So you paint the rim white first, then the spokes?

Alex that is how I did these rims and it worked pretty good.

I was able to paint the stripes on the drum and put the decals on. I made my own exhaust shield with some PE I had.

The drum is now in place and I made some supports for the extra chute’s I had just enough space to hang them on the frame. Checking out some reference pictures it’s where most of them are. This one is getting closer to finishing and I’m still waiting on the detachable lowboy kit to arrive.

For now I’m finished with the Mack mixer and waiting on my detachable lowboy kit to arrive.
