Marco Wingelaar Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Hello Fellow Mack enthusiast, My name is Marco and i am a Mack model maker from the Netherlands. I want to make 2 scale models from the Mighty Mack RD 800, I’ve purchased 2 resin RD800 conversion kits from A.I.T.M (Dave Natale) I don’t have any clear pictures from the frame rail’s/ chassis from the RD800 so I don’t know how to start. can any one help me out with this? Any pictures or drawings are a great help and appreciate Greetings, Marco The Netherlands Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72662-mack-rd-800-framerailschassis-detail-pictures/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I've been model building since the '60's. Dave has sadly passed away. for your RD use the DM800 kit ; modify the cab mounting. I have two DM800's in build process now. I also have a HD hayes frame rail chassis from AIM ; late Jim Etter which would work for a large car Mack . saving it for off high-way brute.

mechohaulic Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 also there is a web site for truck model building .the tires in the DM 800 kit for me are tooo small. don't think anyone is continuing resin truck kits . best bet the model truck builder site Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72662-mack-rd-800-framerailschassis-detail-pictures/#findComment-528219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I saw a farm model builder on Shark Farmer show and he is 3D printing a lot of his tractors and scenery now. That would be cool if more people started doing that. They can make some pretty detailed stuff.

mechohaulic Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I know i'm too old for change in many areas ; I have some 3-D printed units . to me the resin molds have more correct detail. BUT as is said opinions are like a$$holes ; everyone has one. 3-D is making it easier for many things to be made = no need for expense molding forms. always a positive some where. glass half empty or half full Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72662-mack-rd-800-framerailschassis-detail-pictures/#findComment-528283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
