Cars, trucks and people

[Schraddel]

Hello,













Brekina Mack Model R just unboxed. I was not amused with these models. Note postion of fifth wheel. This may work for RV semi trailers, but is ridicolous for commercial semis.




Started levering it with a big screw driver to separate the parts. Especially under the rear wall of the cab you have to exert rather big forces to get it separated.





This time the axles were not knurrled at the ends. So wheel demounting was straightforward. The "Hollywood" type bumper was reduced to a normal one.













Putting a driver into the cab. The driver's seat had to be lowered and the figurine too.





There had some work to bedone to mount the cab square. Plus make a new seating for the front axle.

















Now this Mack look more though as a Mack and be able to drive on muddy uneven ground of construction sites.















For comparison, a further Mack truck unaltered just out of the box. There is the Mack Bulldog onto the bonnet, no rubber duck.
