MPC Mack 800 DM [Finished]

Thanks. Yes, see how long to knock it off!

Well it is finished. The hood fit in the front irritates me a bit,but looking at other builders trucks it looks like a common problem. I can live with it. I did use the brackets for those huge rear fenders and mounted them to the rear of the chassis and hung the mud flaps off them. The trailer is from a New Ray toy and is @ 1/25. It is nicely detailed.

Looks awesome with all the chrome on it and the yellow paint. I know what you went through to get the hood and fenders to line up. I don’t remember now everything I had to do to mine too make them sit right but with my red and white stripes I had to make them line up also. I’ve seen those New Ray toy trucks and they are very nice for being a toy truck. It looks right at home with your Mack. Are you going to build another truck next?

Thanks guys! The tractor that came with the trailer is a pretty nice modern Peterbilt. Yes I have started the Mack R. Got the chassis together, I will start a thread soon, I want to paint the chassis first.

Stace are you saying that you would you sell your tri-axle lowboy as a kit to build?

Either that or I could build one to order. Mine are a true RGN. The gooseneck is removable.
