Thanks to Round2 we are getting a lot more of these kits to build. They may be repops, but better than it was a few years back when there was nothing. There are so many possibilities with trucks .

Product Rank

So whereas on other trucks the steering shaft down to the box is fairly rigid, this one has to flex enough to accommodate spring deflection on the front axle. The Mack Super-Liner is a model line of Class 8 trucks produced by Mack Trucks. Following its 1993 discontinuation, the Super-Liner was replaced by the CL700; today, its closest equivalent is the Mack Anthem. The Cruiseliner was the replacement for the F-Model. It seemed that the cruiseliners had good initial sales but then dropped off like a rock. Initial orders for west coast fleets PIE IML ONC etc. seemed to be pretty good but they never gained traction like KW, Pete and Freightliner.

I've never owned one, but drove a couple. The most recurring problem I've seen and heard about was the self-destructing dashboard. Every one I've looked at or driven, the dash was just before falling off in your lap. Arch Rock is your next stop for an approximately 5 minute viewing and picture taking adventure of one of Mackinac Island’s most famous rock formations. Exchanges The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item. I took a guess and thought it was a fuel injector rail.

It is the 1st of its kind in Michigan, and the 3rd oldest LIVE butterfly exhibit in the United States.

Self Guided Tour – You can spend all day or just an hour. Fort Mackinac has live reenactments every 45 minutes in the peak of summer.

Pulling the Siskyou Mtns with a full load it sounded like a freight train. I was told that many a times when tilting the cab for service the front windshields would fall out!!! Actually,the Cruiseliner only replaced the Western FL/FS,they kept making eastern built F models right up till '81 when they moved production of the Cruiseliner to Macungie. Constructed by the British during the American Revolution, Fort Mackinac served as an imposing sentinel in the Straits of Mackinac for 115 years. Within its 14 original buildings, you’ll enjoy informative and interactive exhibits, a children’s play area, and a Victorian-themed museum store.

I built this back in 2011, and I looked through my pics to see if I had any of the engine out of the frame. So you know, Tamiya Gold Leaf X-12 is a good match for Mack Gold. Here is a KT that I sold a few years ago.

Yes, it's one or the other, detail or an easy build, choose your side! I'm not complaining though, it's a great time for modelling now that Round2 is releasing all these old kits, and even creating new ones. I'm not a big truck guy either, only in the sense I don't drive them or know much about them, but I love building them and seeing all the countless variations there are.

The other issue with truck kits is, there are only so many truck kits. Not all trucks have been kitted, most are 1980 or older in AMT/MPC, Italeri are 80-early 2000's and limited US trucks. As for your other points, welcome to the world of AMT truck kits! I find the ones I've done more challenging than they need to be because of the same things you've discovered.

I build mostly trucks and I agree, AMT/MPC are challenging. Italeri are easier builds, great part fit, but have been know to cut corners on accuacy. If like me, you don't know what it is supposed to look like, you just build happy, but if you are a stickler for accuracy, Italeri has some issues. It looks like some of the sprues are slightly different to what's on the sheet. There's also two sets of mud flaps and two different manifolds, could be a fuel injector bar but I can't find it on the instruction sheet. Is this kit like the AMT '57 Chevy where they removed most of the original extras leaving some sprues with parts that weren't on the instructions on the re-release?

Big rigs are a different world to me when it comes to the mechanical side. I can tell what parts are and what they are for on a car, but trucks are just weird. Doing some research I realised the instructions showing the oil filter is actually correct, but to me it looks nothing like an oil filter, lol! Thanks for the colour suggestion, I was wondering how to do that, looks like gold plating when I was looking up pictures. The Mack F series truck uses taper-leaf front springs, which helps to provide a smoother ride. Taper-lead springs practically eliminate the inter-leaf friction, which is common with multi-leaf spring systems.

Cheese enthusiasts can eat their fill of assorted and domestic cheeses with accompanying fruits and a variety of hot items at the nearest carvery station. I wish I never started these semi kits as they're sooo addictive! Have one built in need of a rebuild and  a couple more in the stash . I like this kit.Have one built in need of a rebuild and  a couple more in the stash . Well, I'd say you're off to a good start.
