Marco Wingelaar Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Hello fellow Mack enthusiasts, I hope someone can help me out with this, I'm a scale model builder from the Netherlands and I'm in need of some detail pictures or drawing from the Mack RD 800 truck chassis. I'm building a scale model of this beautiful truck but I haven't got any clear detail pictures or info from the chassis. I have lots of pictures of the whole truck but no details, I need shots of the whole chassis, frontsprings, axle details frontbumper mount, fueltanks, etc. Thanks in advance Greetings Marco Wingelaar The Netherlands Edited October 17, 2021 by Marco Wingelaar 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68499-mack-rd-800-chassis-detail-pictures/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaican Bulldog Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 That's awesome, What scale is that? I believe the DM 800 chassis used in the 1/25 scale AMT model truck kit is very similar. American truck industrial Models in NJ U.S.A does a 1/25 resin RD800 kit and I believe the donor kit is the DM800. I have one but have not built it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68499-mack-rd-800-chassis-detail-pictures/#findComment-481547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I've been checking ATIM , seems a number of items are out of stock. possibly the virus crap is having shortages in all areas. the DM 800 kit is the donor. that RD is looking great so far. didn't think they had 4 latches on each side. the fun part to scratch building is you do it the way you like. building the chassis you have so far with the DM800 running gear should nail it. R model cab /interior will fill in the cab end . the DM800 mixer in my profile was adapted to resemble the real one of days gone by. i've been model building since the '60-70's.

I had the DM-600 as well at one time. https://www.amazon.com/DM800-Tractor-MPC-Plastic-Model/dp/B07H73C5KJ/ref=asc_df_B07H73C5KJ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309875687217&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5874640858019009337&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009970&hvtargid=pla-561343858776&psc=1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Jamaican Bulldog Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Not sure what scale it is you are doing but even if its smaller you can use an online scale calculator to scale it down or up Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68499-mack-rd-800-chassis-detail-pictures/#findComment-481614 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello sir , sorry for my late response I haven’t been able to answer you earlier This is the AITM Mack RD800 from Dave Natale, I have various Mack models from Dave. I would like to built the RD 800 as an original not on an other chassis, I’d hoped someone in this forum could help me out with some detail pictures or chassis diagram. all pictures or info will help. greetings Marco Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68499-mack-rd-800-chassis-detail-pictures/#findComment-482195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
