Yoos Brothers Construction Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Here's another one of my models. Its a DM800 I bought off ebay. It was built a long time before I bought it but it had no hood, engine,tranny radiator, or grill. I took it all apart and restored it with a extra 237 (the DM800 models all came with 325 V8s) I had from another model I built and my brother had an extra hood. See you can even restore Mack models too !!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!

JTFormula Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 In my search for Mack tow trucks on eBay I wound up buying a different brand flatbed rollback. Still in the hunt for a reasonable B wrecker.

Rob Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Oh sweet!!!! I tried to build my first model last night. Its HO scale, so small, I broke the rear end, I couldnt even get the wheels on because crap kept braking!!!! I think I would do fine if I worked with something bigger.Part of being young is being clumsy. You will grow into both those hands and feet in time. Along with growing into them comes the needed coordination to run them right. Breaking small parts as you mention is because you are rushing to quickly. Slow down, take your time and concentrate upon the task at hand.And don't ever give the fuck up till it's right. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

41chevy Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I got them from Sourkrautsmodeltrucks.com. They really make it look more detailed. On my other models I've built I just painted mack on the filters with a tooth pick(very very difficult to do but still loks good). I'll post some pics of one of my other Mack models I built(I have many).Sourkraut kind of dropped out of sight after his new shop opened up. Most of his decals are now sold by Jerry Reeter of www.modeltruckin.com I've sent him a lot of references and scaled measurement for the Bandag truck. Tell him Paul /41 chevy sent you. He does a lot of Mack goodies including engine and chassis decals and the Magnum set for the Superliner and the MH.

Jerry sells some of his decals and has the rights print others.The other shot is this. Call or E mail Dave Natali at AITM. They are similar to his sets that come with his B and L series cabs.

Fantastic work and a great collection of Macks. I especially liked the yellow one on the first page. Looks like it started life as a DM800 but it has the centred R cab. Does this make it an R800 or an RD800 or am I wrong on both counts?Alastair Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25865-diecast-macks/page/3/#findComment-130366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
