Nice looking Mack. I thought this kit was a curb-side? Did it come with that engine?

That era of Mack I think should be gray. Don't ask Jerry, he'll tell you purple!

The engine in all those Italeri American truck kits are Cummins 855 c.i.d. It most closely resembles an NTA Big cam series with intake mounted air to water intercooler. This series ran all the way up to the NTA-400 in truck use. It should be painted Cummins beige.

Jerry,
Actually I have a Monogran Kenworth W900 Aerodyne snap kit that I' thinking of painting purple! Perfect for 1972. It's molded is a strange translucent orange.
I actually owned a purple car. It was a 1995 Geo Prizm. You guessed it: The Purple Prizm!

Good luck
