MackSTL68 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I’ve been chipping away at this for many years finally about a month ago I finished the frame work and the Mixer. My wife bought me a MPC Mack DM800 at Hobby Lobby about a week ago so I am using it as a donor kit for the Cab, Hood, Fenders and other stuff. When I bought the kit about 26 years ago it was missing a lot of parts including one side of the hood. The look I’m going for is like the DM800 on the Box Art of the MPC Gravel Trailer. Red with a White frame and instead of the chrome wheels they will be White. I’ve always liked that truck. I’m thinking about 3 Red stripe bands around the drum.

The 600 in the background was my very first Truck model I built in 1984. I only have the cab interior and hood left. I’m rebuilding it I might start a thread on it later it’s going together well. Maybe some day you can post that wrecker. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76299-125-scale-mpc-ertl-mack-dm800-mixer/#findComment-590988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
