JohnHaa Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Dear Modellers, In search for classic trucks, I found this site: TrucksPlanet.com. There I found a Mach truck which I had not seen before. They were build in only limited numbers. I specially liked the squarish and bullish impression you get of this model. After long searching I found more photographs and a brochure with the main dimensions. Not much to work from, anyhow I drew a 3-view drawing to build the model. Later I discovered that somewere along the drawing, I made a mistake with the upper part of the cabin. The proportions of the windows, doors and the cabinroof did not match the photographs. Some modifications were necessary, I lowered the roof, made new lower doors and shortened the windowposts. After this surgery things looked much better. I printed the decals on my PC, I made up the company name …😉 I hope you like this rather unknown Mack truck. Thanks for watching, JohnHaa 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It is a rare dog. I have a couple of Mack books with pictures of these, but not enough to use for reference, especially the trailers. The trailers are much hared to find info on unless you find an actual one. A slight silvering on the city decals but so what, it still looks great. First one I've seen in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That's wonderful John, well done. It has a nice boxy look to it. The colour suits it very well indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hard to believe this is scratchbuilt - all I can say is that there are some amazing modelling skills on show with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albergman Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Wonderful scratch build project. Most impressive given that you had to make your own drawings. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarz-Brot Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Thank you for showing. Didn't even know these existed, but then again I'm not too much into trucks. I will visit your WIP thread for sure. Thank's for posting that one, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
