HOW TO BUILD AN ACCURATE SUPERLINER

[78KW]

This post was on another forum, but I thought I would bring it over here as these articles will help make for a more accurate Superliner. Thanks to Jim B for posting these originally.


Here are some articles from 2001 Scale Auto Enthusiast concerning correcting/detailing the Italeri Mack Superliner:

It's a lot of work, but your Superliner will look really nice when it's done.

A nice Mack E9 V8 engine is available from www.sourkrautsmodeltrucks.com. It's a nice casting.

I hope these will be of use to you.

I hate to be a blanket but when I went to these links to read up and each one said member not found.

I really want to see these links as I want to build an accurate Superliner of sorts.

Good luck to all who try this. I have not attempted anything this ambitious yet. It looks like a lot of work, but the results should be worth it.

Thanks Jim. I don't know how that happened, but thanks for re-posting them.
