pete3522 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 One pic i forgot was the power plant i just kept it the 6cyl mack maxidyne as this is what they used in the original truck.One of them did have a cummins in it.There was alot of here say of a detroit but that was just dubbed in the sound effects of the movie.I was going to hinge the bull bumper and hinge the hood but the hinge holes were ground off the frame from the previous owner so to keep a tight uniform fit i just made it a lift off hood.Just plain and simple mack engine i had to modify the intake and exhaust plumbing being i extended the hood and i made it the dual tube tip turbine air cleanerhttp://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s430/pete3522/Rubber%20Duck%20Mack/100_3106.jpg]http://
donkeypuncher76 Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Nice, intensive work. I have just found an ad on craigslist that alot of us rig jockeys and heavy equipment fans could be "GOLD, JERRY, GOLD I TELL YA". I am supposed to meet up this evening to gbo "shopping". In phoenix,az craigslist ad "1/24 trucks" just type that in the general for sale area, easy to find. I dont know terms fro shipping for outta states etc.. need to ask.. . This ghuy has, litterally 2 car garage full of un-built mostly sealed amt mack r series, amt mack 685st, countless 1.24 tankers, dry van, lowboy trailer kits, the construction equipment stuff, jihn deere,cats.etc, Bulldozers,tractors plows,omg! end dump trailers, kw-t600's (kw canepa same thing) a pile of sealed jeeps, swap rat is what i think they are, coca cola deliver fords, old kw 925's cab over petes(that better still be there tonight lol_) i can't keep flipping screens to let know, im 2 stokedf, 25$ per kit.RUBBER DUCK FANS!! if he will ship 25$ for those kits sealed is worth the shipping alone..phoenix.craigslist.org do the search 1/24 trucks you are here so I know you can find it. tons of pics. If all works out if shipping is an issue, maybe we can figure it out, he's not that from me so.paypal? ..theres just so many kits listed and shown that I just hope its not b.s when i get there and hope 1 of us at least can get an "ebvilbay lot price, for a shelf full of un touched goodness". check the ad, call him etc..this rd thread is was made me go shoppiung, i was only looking for build help for my freightliner cab-over( am i at the craft store again?" later guys have a good one.

lapazleo Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Why was this post moved? It isn't general truck discussion it's posting on a model.
doogie7046 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 That trailer came out looking really nice. I never thought of using the 1/32 scale kit for this build. Hmm, I think I have one stashed away for my son, my just have to borrow that kit and see what I can do with it.
Harry P. Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Why was this post moved? It isn't general truck discussion it's posting on a model. This topic started out as a series of questions, there were no photos of a model involved. That's why it was moved to the Truck Stop section. Once the model was finished it should have been posted in a new thread, in the Big Rig section.
claystbrd Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Hi...Can anyone give me some info on this Rubber Duck kit from AITM?...Is it resin?...If so, is alot of prep work involved?...And is it available for sale now?...Thanks... Matt
towman1271 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Yes the AITM kit is all resin....Dave did a wonderful job with it..Not much prep work with it at all...I started one months ago, But its been slow coming! He has it for sale on his site for $169.. It has everything you need

claystbrd Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 another onehttp:// Hi Craig, nice work on the trailer...I actually bought one of these snap-tite trailers with the idea of doing this same thing...Any chance you'll do a tutorial on your build?...Did you use the stock frame from the kit for this, or scratch build most of it?...Thanks... Matt
Fat Brian Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Here are some pics of the AITM kit, it's pricey but considering what the Ertl kits go for on ebay and how much work goes into making them right this is probably the best way to go. Edited November 26, 2012 by Fat Brian
