Mack B-Model B613T

[Kaf343]

Started a Mack B-Model, or as close as I can get to one. It's based on a B-613T. Using Wedico Axles to keep the width more to scale, Dayton rims and low pro tires. Most likely going with a R2 trans and would like to go with a partial interior.

A perfect fit for my Ultra Liner truck hauler.

Thanks, the cab is from a Tamiya 1/10 Midnight Pumpkin. It's almost dead on to scale in size to the 1:1 B-Model.

[Kaf343]

Just dropped off the cab to Brian at Exclusive RC for a 3D printed grille and paint.

[Exclusive RC]

Heres some updates on this bad boy....

Grill, Breather and emblems....

[BRICKNICK]

The pics don't work

[Exclusive RC]

idk what the **** is up with photobucket.... I havent moved anything around or done anything and all the pics vanished form the forum....

[Exclusive RC]

just tried again and nothing..... I have NO clue what the deal is.... I can view them in photobucket no problem but when I post the link they do that....

[BRICKNICK]

Heck man, I wanna see those pics

[TRUCKMAKER]

You need to go into photo bucket and read what it says about the avatar that's replacing your pictures, the short story is the pictures we posted from Indy have been viewed so many times we've used up the allotted band width they give with a free account, my pictures are the same way. You either sign up and pay for a pro account or wait until it resets which it does every month. If you sign up for a pro account you get unlimited band width and this doesn't happen.

[Kaf343]

Here you Nick, a few pics Brian sent me. Tanks, emblems and breather.

[Exclusive RC]

Thanks Keith, il send you more pics tomorrow to upload for me! (Until my bandwidth clears back up lol)

[Kaf343]

No problem Brian, looking awesome! ��

[BRICKNICK]

Wow those are some sweet goodies going on that bad boy, can't wait to see it finished.

[Mikem]

So I'm assuming it's Brian at exclusive RC making emblems for Mack and are they available to buy ? Mike

[Kaf343]

Yes, Brian from a Exclusive RC is making the emblems and I believe he will be offering them in his store in the near future.

[Kaf343]

So Brian finished printing the tanks, breather and grille. Did some additional body work and re shaped the roof, painted it and topped it off with some scale emblems and bulldog. I couldn't be more happy!

http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q564/kaf343/B%20Model/cdccd22611a854cb8a8a3d3652cc4622.jpg

I brought it back to the garage and mounted it to the frame, made a front bumper with some rookie lights and a grille guard. Cut out a rear emblem, mounted some lights and mud flaps. Added the stack, windows and started on the power train.

Coming along I think.

Brian is working on some headlight buckets, printing some emblems and painting the breather. Oh and maybe some Dayton rims!

[Dairyland Trucker]

WOW Keith this thing is SICK!!!!!

[Kaf343]

WOW Keith this thing is SICK!!!!!

Hey thanks Robert, I've wanted to a B model since I've been in the hobby. Finally getting it finished.

[petermoblin]

Really sharp looking truck. Gotta love the old iron! Will there be a period correct trailer for it in the future?

[flatdeck]

Thumbs UP.....

you read my mind...... a nice Fruehauf wouldnt look too shabby ;)

[robcakes]

brilliant job

[doodlebug]

:jump::bounce::D I like it!

[tc1cat]

NICE!!!!!! Any thoughts on painting the frame??? Just looking out of place to me.

[Kaf343]

Thanks. Well I originally built it to be hauled around by my Ultraliner, but I do think I need a wagon for it. I'm thinking a round nose box trailer for it should be about right.

Thumbs UP.....



Wayne

Thanks Wayne.

you read my mind...... a nice Fruehauf wouldnt look too shabby ;)

Lol, I think I'm going to need another set of rims.

brilliant job

Thanks.

:jump::bounce::D I like it!

Lol, nice.

Thanks Lynn, yes the frame is going to get painted. I'm in the process of adding the trans now and a pogo stick, then I'll paint the frame. Lots of little details to add yet.

[Dairyland Trucker]

A period correct outside frame rail flat bed or van trailer 40 to 45 ft tandem or single axle would be killer

Here is a picture of my Grandfather in around September 1937 with one of his Mack's and I believe a Trailmobile trailer. I think I might go this direction.

I also like this style trailer.

[flatdeck]

I would think the period correct length for the old Mack would be 32' to 36' trailer a lot of single axle and some tandems...

Yes Wayne, my grandfathers trailers were 30'. I've started a scale trailer for it about an hour ago, it'll be 24" long, round nose and 6.5" tall hopefully will look like the orange one.

[BRICKNICK]

Keith what a great build, but the thing that put me over the top was the picture of your grandfather looking so proud next to his old Mack. Awesome man, so kool to see.

[PaulNZ]

Great build, love the old trucks of any brand

[MACK Daddy]

Nice build all around, including that garage

Nicely done

[Kaf343]

Update on the truck and trailer, painted the frame on the B model and threw together a 30' scale trailer for it, still need to do some details, dollies, doors and suspension. It's all aluminum frame, styrene walls and roof and rolled aluminum for the nose.

Great combo :jaw::D:D Trailer to match the tractor??

[flatdeck]

That is the right look Keith...

Wayne

[BRICKNICK]

Keith your looking great bud, one little detail I think is off is maybe the height of the trailer. Shouldn't it be a little lower. It almost looks like a 13'6 trailer when back then I'm sure they were much lower then that.

Thanks Nick, it does look a little high but it's to scale. The side walls are 6.5" which is 92" scale and the overall height is 9.5" which is 11'-4" scale. I got the dimensions from the web and also have a 1:32 B model with trailer that I used for ref.

[bigford]

you waste no time do ya!!! looks great

[Kaf343]

So Brian has been a busy man the past few weeks with Bigfords, Benny's, Alfy's and several other projects but still found time to finish the last few parts for my B model. Just picked up my 3D printed Dayton rims and breather. So I'm just about there, got the drive shaft in, now onto electronics.

Those rims are a perfect fit..... Adding those to my shopping list in Brian's store

Very nice

Alfy

[Tamiya Cowboy]

That truck and trailer combo look awesome great work only one suggestion change the rear light plate and mud flap hangers they just look out of place on a old truck..
