Vladislav Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 On the pics it looks awesome!I'd say a bit better than a real one.All the wires and pipes under the hood and in the chassis seem correct and take this truck apart from just toys.Openable doors turned out perfect.What did you use for the cab as a basis? 1/25 AMT or 1/24 italery?Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Truely amazing! The level of detail is incredible. You are either very very patient or maybe you are serving life in prison and have nothing better to do. Wow. Nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskymack Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Thanks for all the positive comments.Vlad, the cab is AMT 1:25 but with a lot of modifications, as is the motor and drivetrain.I take the point about the battery and lights, kind of let myself down there but I'm making up for it with the RS700 I'm working on now. The motor runs.Alastair 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff M Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Spectacular, particularly the engine decal. Question arises, though: where are the Value Liner emblems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Damn you should have played with us and said you had a low mileage Value-liner for sale and then seen how long it took till we figured this out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskymack Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Increadable detail my friend... Are you entering this into a model contest? Thanks for all your help with this. You answered a whole lot of questions which helped enormously with the under the hood detail. I entered it in the annual truck model show over here in June and got a first in the US/Australian truck category. Spectacular, particularly the engine decal. Question arises, though: where are the Value Liner emblems?Thanks very much. Regarding the emblem, the truck in the '78 brochure doesn't have it so I left it off. Personally, I think that emblem is a bit fussy and doesn't really go with the Mack script and RS emblems so it suited me to leave it off. If I'm honest I'm not really a fan of the name either. Mack obviously wanted it to fit in with the Cruise-Liner and Super-Liner model range but I prefer the old 'RS/RL600' terminology. That said the trucks looked great!

I never was crazy about that name, either, always preferred the RS/RL badging. Let me say again that is a spectacular effort. Congratulations.
