Daveaf Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hello. My name is Dave and I recently returned to the hobby of building 1/25 scale model truck. Built a few kits straight out the box, and now have decide to kit bash an AMT Mack R685ST and a AMT Ertl Paystar 5000 cement mixer. Here is my mock up so far.

doogie7046 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The Mack with the mixer unit will be an awesome combination. If you want to change up the look a little you could always move the water tank down and mount on the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Great idea! Did you have to streatch the frame on the R685ST much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveaf Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 I stretched the frame about 3/4 of an inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogie7046 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Great idea! Did you have to streatch the frame on the R685ST much? I used the DM600 frame and total length is 14 inches. By looking at your pics if you shorten up the water tank you may be able to squeeze it in behind the fuel tank without stretching the frame but mock it up with a tube to represent the water tank and see if you like the look. Otherwise extend the frame 1 inch to 1.5 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to own a pretty nice Mack mixer yourself Mike, if your avatar is saying anything! i think you posted that somewhere over here already, haven't you?

Thanks Robert. I posted it quite a while ago and I think I built it almost 6 yrs ago from an old gluebomb DM600 Mack that I added a new mixer from the Paystar mixer.

clayton Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm working on Mack myself,spent last night trying to get the mixer to fit with cutting the frame. I think in the long run I may have too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
