Mack R600 with doubles from Convoy.

Excellent replica indeed! Excellent job opening the doors. How did you do the cab? Did you use the back of the old MPC cab on the AMT cab? I’m assuming that you used the MPC dashboard? Just curious. I like that you removed the rear ridge in the front fenders, I did the same thing on my last R-Model. 
Excellent work all around!

No, Brian, I modified cab from the box. I cut out about 3mm space behind the doors and shifted the back wall forward.

The dash is fully scratch built. Until i started this project, i thought that all r-macks have the same dash. And I was surprised seeing simple steel dash on the old short cabs. So I had to work little  more and create one.

I also had to create the rear axle and rear springs from scratch, because tandem axle in the box is absolutely different.

Now I’m even more impressed! Top notch work for sure!

At first, I thought the pics were generated 3D CAD.  But then I realized I was looking at the actual model!  I like how you built this, very clean and smooth.  Very convincing too.  Nice job!  And the last pic nailed it!

Well done, Denis! Good looking piece of work! I like the doors and dash board!

I would tinted the grill a little, as you did with wheels.

Waiting for it on other site!

As I understood, there is something like blinds on the radiator, which open and close as necessary. I made them closed, like in the last photo, so I decided not to use shadows.

You'll see soon, I think. I sent a publication request two weeks ago.
