Here is my 99% scratch built Mack M-50AX. Cummins VT-1710 (V-12), Allison DP8960, Mack Planidrive rear, leaf spring suspension. The front axle is done in brass and is fully functional. I have a good friend who found 2 of these down in Tennessee and he took a pile of detail photos, and i found a parts manual at a truck show many years before i started this build. Start to finish, 7 weeks of nights & weekends. Yes, it is 1/24 scale.... Ap40 Attachments:

Rick,
That is real nice! I like the last photo you posted as it puts the size of the model in to perspective.

Rick, That is real nice! I like the last photo you posted as it puts the size of the model in to perspective. Gator Gator, thought you would like that one. this truck in 1/24 is about as big as the old Tonka steel dump trucks from the 60's. Ap40 |

Rick, how right you are, both the Tonka toys and Hubley, have you seen what some of those old toys are bringing in?? Makes me wish I had all the ones we had as kids.
