That link just reloads this page, it doesn't go to your Fotki which is where I presume you wanted it to go.

That new Mack kit will make a lot of people happy and hopefully pave the way for more new tool kits.

I bet it would be fascinating to many of us to hear the back story of how this new Mack truck kit "came-to-be"!

Has it been on the list of possible newly tooled kits for a long time?

What made the new product development team decide to move ahead with this one?

Where did they gather the 1:1 input to start the kit's development?

How is this kit being designed for production?

How many reissue variations (beyond just decal sheet changes), are planned? (...think Long-frame with the existing Mercury sleeper).

Is there potential for companion kits like vintage trailers to go hand-in-hand with this new Mack tractor?

Good surprises like this bring so many questions to my mind!

I typically don’t build big rig kits, but that Mack will change that!  Definitely will be getting one!  

I have a soft spot for all trucks from the 1940s thru 1960s.

Awesome stuff coming from Round 2! Thanks for all the pics and info!

At last... a 1972 Duster ! And, there's NO moulded-in console ! SWEET ! 

Thank you , @tim boyd, for sharing those photos.

[Chris in Berwyn]

All told, it's in incredible number of interesting kits coming out!  And I am glad to see the Malco Gasser back.  For old times sake, I will be getting the longnose Mustang FC.  I still have the body of my childhood version of the kit in a box somewhere!  Thanks for all the pics and comments!

[Jon Cole]

I'll take my Mack in Coles Express, please!

[Ulf]

No, I can hardly believe it. I was very happy with the Pontiac (looking forward to one with a roof,    please), but an old Mack is really as much fun as it is unexpected.

Thanks Tim.  Will I be building a Semi Tractor for the maybe first time in my life??   Anyhow the Duster will be a purchase for me the only criticism and I hate to do it but are those 71 Rally wheels not 72 center caps?  I cannot really tell with them still in the bag.  I Can always drag wheels out of a Dart 75-76 kit.  Thanks and an exciting 12 months ahead for us.
