Mack AC Dump Truck with Pneumatic Tires

[Old Buckaroo]

Ive never been a real fan of these kits but I really like what you did with this one. It was the kit tires in all honesty.  But you have made this one definitely awesome and changed my mind on this kit.

If those are the AITM Resin tires - Ive got some hid away, but I'm not sure of the wheels. I bought them for a tri axle Pete I was building years back - but used different tires.

Thanks for the nice complement and Yes they are AITM wheels. Dave sold these to me as a set but any 1/25 kit wheels will not fit these tires. Hope you can find them and get started on one. I have a another one lined up maybe with bigger tires and I might extend the hood and add a Cummins to it to make it a AP Mack. I don’t know if I want to do all that work through. Might just add the bigger tires and call it a day 😂. I’m glad I have changed your mind about this kit to be honest it’s a really nice kit.

Great looking AC! I've built three of them, most recently the dump truck, and I've always liked these kits. The pneumatic tires and spoke wheels are perfect for a late 20's- early 30's version of this truck- they were in production until 1939 and the later ones had pneumatic tires. Always wanted to do one this way but I never had the right wheels in my little stash of leftover AITM parts. I miss Dave too, he was the nicest guy in the world and he was always willing to do everything her could to help out. Great job!
