Hi Jerry What about an alternative to doing a dump (no pun intended). What about an American Freightliner DROPS and Trailer combo. I would love to but I am doing my own DROPS with other UK Army trucks to follow. I also don't have a doner FL kit to convert.   What do you think? If I ever come across that Heavy Dump Truck kit I think it would get the DROPS treatment. Hiab Multilift is the same rig as the one I am doing and the trailer is very similar. All the best to all on here for 2008 Keep your craft knives sharp and your glue bottle lids tight Nige |

I haven't thought about what I'm going to do with the Freightliner yet.
I will do something with it tho.

here we go...... a coat of Testors Flame red, aluminum on the dump and flat black on the frame. Front tires are Italeri super single from one of the trailer kits.   |

I agree with you Jerry, that Freightliner just wouldn't look right with this particular dump body. It looks very appropriate on the Mack.

Looking Good!
The paint job is fantastic. Where do you hide the paint booth and all those little bodyshop workers?
Also, where did you find the front rubber for this project, I am thinking a 16.5 wide floatation front?
Great Job, MACK's define "working truck"
