Mack 1926 AC Bulldog, Pneumatic Rims & Tires

[stavanzer]

I've a Monogram (now Atlantis) 1926 Mack Dump Truck.

I want to build an updated 1930's version with Pneumatic Rubber tires and the distinctive Mack 6 spoke wheels. I think AITM (the Late Dave Natale)offered them, but I know that he, and AITM are no more.

Does any body have any suggestion's  about sourcing a new set of these rims and tires?   3D printing may be the best way to go, nowadays, but I'd be happy with resin too.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers, Alan Alexis

 Have you checked cults 3d?

I have the same question.

Looked at Cults 3d before and could not find something that I thought is suitable.

I have the log hauler kit so I’m interested to see what you guys come up with.😎

I can’t remember which kit it was from , but I used tires and wheels from a big rig kit that I had laying around. Worked for me.

No, never thought of Cults. It is not a place I ever check for anything. Maybe that should change......

Awesome Build! I really the the 1920-30 colours you chose.

The Tires look like AMT Tires.

I still have a bit of AITM tires and such, I will dig them out tomorrow and see what all there is.

I was unaware of AITM not being around any more. Like many cottage industries, so dependent on an individual keeping it going. The company made some really nice resin parts, so hopefully the moulds might be bought by someone.

Have you checked with ST Supply or Sourkraut's Truck Models? They both have AITM Mack wheels. But I don't know about the thirty's style tires. you could always ask them.

Probably some good info in this thread, but I haven't looked at all of it...
