1/32 Mack B-61 Tandem axle Tractor

[Lee Drennen]

I’ve been working on this for a little over two years thought I’d try to finish this thing up I’m leaning more towards the 1/32 scale due to the size and Limited space I have
The truck is a JMT promotional truck and the frame is a monogram 1/32 scale R Model Mack that I’ve modified and added the tanks to. The interior is zinc chromate green and the gearshift knobs or pale green enjoy the pics

Lee, nice looking rig. The cab appears to be die cast, the frame plastic. Are the Don Mills details cast resin or molded plastic? Looks like it will be quite the composite model when finished. Rick H.

2 years?? All good things come to those who wait. Thanks for sharing Lee and hopefully you will get it done soon. Looks a great model.

Rick. The cab is plastic this is not a First Gear Diecast these were rare promotional trucks with tanker trailers that gas stations gave out when First gear was at there glory. The Don Mills components are cast Metal the frame is a 1/32 Monogram Mack R model that I Customize. Thanks for stopping by and the complement.

Steve. Thanks for stopping by and the complement. Yes two years I hope to get this one off the bench soon. Those 1/25 scale trucks I’ve built for years just take up too much space and take forever to build.

Worked on the old dog this morning. Install the interior and front clip
Added the decals cut the headlights off and remounted them accented the chrome parts on the cab/hood added that famous Mack Bulldog

[Lee Drennen]

Well I think I’m going to call it a day with this old dog. I have added the tow hooks and radiator guard and the front wheels as well amount of the cab to the frame I’ll be adding some resin wells and tires to the rear

Looking good Lee

[Lee Drennen]

The resin wheel are ready for paint and I have to add a few more parts and this dog is going for a walk

[Lee Drennen]

Today I added the Wheels, Battery Boxes, Stack, Air Cleaner, Air Tank and Tail Lights a few more things and I’m calling it done

That's looking the "DOGS" Lee. Do you have a load in mind for this more than capable machine?

[Lee Drennen]

I don’t know yet

[Steve Jones]

Well you certainly breathed some life back into this old dog. It really is a cracking build Lee. Great stuff. It would be great to see it towing something

[JR]

I think someone has enjoyed this build Lee. I know I have, agree with Rick about a load.
