Jim B Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Nice progress so far on your White. Is this going to be a fleet truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren D Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Is this the recent resin release? Looks good, I've been looking to do a White COE Eagle but can't come close to a donor cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes this one is going to be a basic fleet truck belonging to Mclean Trucking. 2 hours ago, Warren D said: Is this the recent resin release? Looks good, I've been looking to do a White COE Eagle but can't come close to a donor cab. No Warren, the new release is the Road Commander II. This is the old Road Commander based off of the old 7400 cab. I think these were originally cast in fiberglass by Jamar. The previous one that I built was fiberglass. This one appears to be a copy of a fiberglass release (not sure by who) and it was pretty rough. The good news is that it sands much easier than fiberglass, so it seems to be cleaning up pretty quickly. I do have the new Road Commander II cab and it is very nice. Thanks to everyone who has commented so far!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 They were a handsome truck, the RC2 and are all but forgotten. They even sold them here in UK for a while in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Thanks for the comments guys! This cab was a lot rougher than I thought. It was covered with little resin balls that looked like welding slag. I assume from air bubble holes in the mold. These sanded off pretty easily. However it was full of pin holes, I mean full. It was pretty wavy as well. It is a fleet truck though. I know that it could have been gotten smoother, but I was tired of sanding. 😀 So here it is with a little paint. I still have to make the interior and intake for it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cifenet Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The red cab and red frame do look fantastic. It catches the eye for sure. It also makes the truck look very sporty without chrome trims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
