towman1271 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 My first build since I was a kid & also first attempt with resin! Started with the complete kit from Dave at AITM & added a few things to make it look more like the movie truck
Petetrucker07 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Very cool man. Love the truck and movie. Good job .
Chris White Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 makes me wanna watch the movie again, awesome work
Brinx Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Dave, that is one fine looking R&D Trucking rig! Looks like you captured the "first-unit" rig perfectly. The sleeper looks perfect.
angelo7 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 This Mack looks nice man! Black is a color I've never been able to do right. But I see you can do it right.
BigBad Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Would go well with Sergey's Pigpen Cruiseliner!
Old Buckaroo Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 The Rubberduck from Alberquackie looks real fine , awesome job How was the assemblky of this - I have the same kit waiting to be built ? Any tips or stuff to be aware of ?
towman1271 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Posted November 2, 2014 It goes together real nice.. I did use longer tanks & aftermarket 2 hole wheels with actual rubber tires. But I must say Dave did a great job casting this kit!
kilrathy10 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 She's a beauty.....Great job with the resin version.....Very nice work....
slusher Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Very impressive build, Real nice black finish. Good work on building it. I really like it...
Custom Hearse Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 SUHWEEEEEETTTTT! You did an excellent job on that!!!
k100 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Very nice , I have one of these kits too, I need get it out and start building .
towman1271 Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks for all the compliments..You all have a hand in this build.. learned a lot from reading all your threads about your builds & learned so much from everyone.. Thanks again!
OlSchoolRedo Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 That truck is a big 10/4 "brother rubber" Nice job!!
Force Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Very nice Dave. I do also have this kit from AITM and it's really good, but it's still waiting to be built. I haven't decided if I want to build it as is or if I will use the parts needed from it and add them to an AMT Mack R series to do a full detail model...well the future will tell. The only thing I know is that I don't want to use a Detroit Diesel engine...yes the movie truck did have the DD sound in most of the movie but the air cleaner in most scenes suggests the engine should be an ENDT 676 Tip Turbine as it has two inlet hoses going in under the hood...and that particular engine can be found in the AMT Mack Cruiseliner...Mack trucks with any other engine would have air cleaners with only one inlet hose going from the cleaner to the engine. I also will change the designation on the hood from the RL700L decal that comes with the kit to RS700L. Edited December 29, 2014 by Force
Bennyg Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Very nice. I like AITM stuff as well. Just got an LJX, A51 and the 351 conversion. Very impressed. Ben
Jonj238 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I just watched Convoy a couple nights ago. Great job!
