Mack DM600 Tractor -- Plastic Model Truck Kit -- 1/25 Scale -- #pc859

This is a very nice kit! The details and molding are not up to today's standards, but that really doesn't matter for this one. It builds into a fine model and has so many different versions of the basic truck that can be built by modifying and adding to this basic kit that I bout several just to have enough for future projects.

Just got this model kit. I'm not a huge fan of the Mack truck lines but this model is a great one to work on. I like the fact that you can rotate the front wheels left or right, to simulate steering, but you gotta be careful with the parts that go into the steering because they are thin and might break easily. You can also cement them together to prevent movement but its nice to have said option. Most of the chassis plastic parts come molded in black, which saves you the painting process if you decide to have a black chassis. But some parts that go into the chassis do need to get painted. I think that MPC / Round 2 did a great job on this model kit and I'm already half way through it. Love every moment i work on it. This one is worth every penny!

I'm still working on the truck and enjoying it. I really like the black molded frame it saved alot of painting. There's one thing to note. The tires must be cut narrow like the directions say. The rear wheels leave alot to be desired. The mirrors are tricky to assy. This kit is best for experienced buiders. I really like the kit and would buy another one. It has the Road Way decals and color instructions if you want to build the Road Way version which I am doing. There's alot of chrome which will be great for my next build. That will be a custom tractor with a sleeper and extended frame. There's no limit in modeling buy one and have a great time. There's no limit in building models.
