Popular Post Pawel Posted January 25, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hello again!Today I'd like to show you the chassis after I glued the tool boxes. I had to reinforce the joints because the boxes are heavy - solid resin. The rear wheels and the quarter fenders are dry-fitted yet:Thanks for looking, have a nice dayPaweł 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19052-mack-rw-superliner-scale-model/page/8/#findComment-228544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Looks Beautiful! Lots of detail esp. on the engineSwing clearance is a little tight on the pogo stick so your driver better not jacknife a van trailer. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

41chevy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Pawel, Do you have any pics or steps on how you corrected the cab in front of the doors?

Popular Post Pawel Posted April 23, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hello!It's been a while! I finally found my men-up pills and glued the exhaust stack guards to the cab. I also experimented with the cab mounts and so finally I dry - fitted the cab to the chassis:Pleased to report, that the hood meets with the cab OK. Looking under the hood - I also managed to mate the exhaust to the turbocharger:Before I glue the cab on I would like to sort out at least some of the lines on the firewall. I even posted a separate thread asking for help, here:http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/35368-brake-system-components-on-a-r-model-cab-please-help/But if you have any photos showing how the air lines go from the treadle valve back into the cab, you're more than welcome to post them here, too! There is also a check valve and brake light switch somewhere - wonder if it could be shown on my model. I also plan adding the clutch linkage.So - back to the workshop, thanks for reading and have a nice dayPaweł 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19052-mack-rw-superliner-scale-model/page/8/#findComment-243128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm desperately trying to figure out the brake lines that run from there.

Vladislav Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Oo!!

Pawel Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hello Vlad!I want to finish it soon, too! I hope to put the cab on the chassis permanently soon and then I'll work some more under the hood. Thanks for your help and please stay tuned!

Vladislav Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Little note Pawel.I think it would be good to modify the front alloy wheels.Those ones off the kit don't look too realistic on my mind. Better to say look bad, especially in relation to all the model.As for me I'd like to make them whole new with a lathe of a piece of aluminium.But that's me and that's why I still have no ready models.So maybe to put some real small srews with nuts on them?Or imitate chrome plated lug nut covers?Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19052-mack-rw-superliner-scale-model/page/8/#findComment-243396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I would for ya, but that's the problem with my truck not building air. Still gotta work on the treadle valve and get it right. Sorry Pawel.

Pawel Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hello!Vlad - thanks a lot for your comment! To tell you the truth, I don't feel like modifying the wheels... But I might try the idea with those wheel nuts - have to come up with an idea on how to do it nicely.Vinny - sorry to hear about your problems. Is it more a leak of some kind or do you have missing components? Maybe you could post a thread with pictures in the Air&Brakes section of the forums - I could get a look at how it looks like in your truck and somebody could help you to solve the issue?Thanks again for your comments, have a nice dayPaweł 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19052-mack-rw-superliner-scale-model/page/8/#findComment-243594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
