  1. David, Thank you for the nice sharing! Sorry I haven't plans to take part in Macugnee with my trucks though will visit it one day myself. Very good be seeing these Mack from my far away. Vlad
  2. How do you guys want to drive 6 year's not started truck? I'm afraid of the engine came stuck. Or maybe not? END with a triplex - good stock. Although I like 3 axle and H63. As it would seems to me of that kind I'd be moving my back on a soufa looking owerseas. Vlad
  3. It's just the one more subject to learn that an amount of money doesn't determine a wellness. And one more time to trust that the best one is the only self-made. At least self-created. If somebody doesn't like green interior he is unlimited to coose any other. But he must not to be surprized to loose the value selling it. How was absolutely true written a time here, this is a job for love, not for a profit. Chomed wheels look good. New tyres also. It hasn't green dash but the dash is done very nice and clear. The modern style fifth wheel is a nonsence. My .02 Vlad.
  4. Larry, Why do you think LJ but LF ? Although I like them both. Rear tyres of the B clousest to R look to be good. Vlad
  5. The door is of nice color and pre-primered for some graffity. Vlad
  6. Interesting to know what level of restoration they call "perfection". Vlad
  7. Does the show going on whole a week? Nice looking pictures! Especially the last one. Vlad
  8. Thank you for posting. That green with sand B is the SuperB! It's good to keep the most attractive shots with a high resolution. Vlad
  9. Thank you for the link. Aussie Cruiseliners looks to me more attractive than Americans. Vlad.
  10. You didn't count Mack trucks. And didn't noted are they live inside/outside
  11. It's good to restore the truck that you love. Especially when it is a running TRUCK, not a couple of pieces of old iron. A way of jumping from one project to another "little better" isn't good experience. On my mind. Vlad
  12. Too glad, Congratulations! How many do you have at the moment?
  13. Hello everybody, I noted this sign at the sticker inside the cab of my Canadian-made R model. Would like to paint the big ones on doors or maybe sides of a sleeper. Does anybody have a good quality picture of it? Mine looks too little to reproduce. Although not having any luck googling it. Vlad.
  14. Some extra shots for you. These are DM and four-axle Superliner.
  15. Pawel, your job looks too strange. It's good you made Camelback instead of unknown rears from Italery kit. But rear bogie brackets to the frame... I like them too much though they were made in 40's, 50's and 60's including B models but no R's. I'm not a 100% shure but 99. Look at the pictures I made of 80's DM. You can see the typical R's Camelback. If you have ever seen the R model kit of AMT that one has the same rears. So you have to think strong about untill you have the chassis unpainted. The axle gears, springs and tie-rods looks Ok. Try to look ower Autoinscale Russian model building forum (AISforum) for the post of Rubber Duck replica. It was made quite true. The picture of the frame is on the display. Scratch built "Duck" in 24 and the AMT "R" in 25. All the best, vlad
  16. Hi, Pawel, Sounds like you have a progress. I haven't the scheme of Superliner though most brake line connections are close to each other around highway R-models. Air tanks could have different locations with brake chambers in diff. points due to a kind of suspension and a number of axles. I have some shots from my R688 of 1988 with airride. Lot of pipes around brakes including park sections mixed with suspension lines. Be carefull about this pictures, the truck has too long Russian milege, brake chambers are from KamAZ. In theory I have the book about it but in real that one is in Holland now untill my next visit in July. Vlad
  17. Never heard owerhere about the Mack project in Russia. I don't remember 70's but early 80's were full of newspapers with cartoon pictures of Uncle Sam with money in the hand and atomic rockets aimed to Russia - USSR. That's all looks a humor now but I can't belive in a deal of our nations during the Cold War time. Vlad
  18. I can't belive that's the real price. Looks like some trade mistification. Vlad
  19. HeavyGunner, how Vinny said, I would be so depressed. I supposed, there are lots of Mack everywhere in the US. So very good the best Macks are always here Vlad.
  20. Waiting for a lot of Australians. I must also to see them real one day. Vlad.
  21. Vinny, I must do it. Though it's a long way so I have to prepaire good. I'm thinking also to come and buy one more Mack that time. But must to realize some of my today projects first.
  22. Nice report Vinny, I have seen less Macks in my country during all my life Vlad.
