This is RPM's version in 1/72. Looks like great molding on this one!! Lots of parts, over 120 looks like.

Building this for my 1940 diorama, should be a blast :D :D

Re: Mack AC Tanker

that's an awesome project!

but RPM? :unsure: ... i hope that your kit is better than what i had in my hands from that manufacturer - they earn the "kits from hell" award from my point of view!
 
Re: Mack AC Tanker

Thanks, MP, Laura and Dave...



Laura, After breaking into the sprues I found not so great molding. Every part has a mold seam with some really bad mold shifts :( :(

So it's not perfect but will still have fun :) :)



couple of pics of progress...

Re: Mack AC Tanker

Thank you Gary, Luiz, MP, and Mike. Appreciate you guys taking the time to comment :) :)
Some progress....
Color and a decal on the tank, just wanted something blue with the decal.

This truck is one of thousands left in France after the first war and put into private service by a French company. In my 1940 diorama I will use the truck as clutter along a back of a building.

Will put this on a small base for now that will resemble it's final resting spot. It be an abandoned junker
