- Finishing the build of the AMT Mack Cruiseliner in 1/25 scale :) I'll show you how I paint it using the Tamiya spray paints. More model car building videos to come. Thank you so much for watching :)
PS - Thanks for the comment pointing out the 5th wheel is too far forward, it should be between the rear wheels!
You do a really great job. This kit was the second rig I built back in the late 1970s
Thank you Mark I really appreciate that I am still learning and you will see plenty of mistakes on this channel 😂
A real classic, isn’t it? Did you notice any difference in your model and this one?
Good Job my friend I've been building Model Truck,s since 1970 I don't like to tell anyone how to do anything it's not my style but The 5th wheel mount,s over between the rear tandems that's all keep up the great work I have built several of these Mack Cruiseliner Model,s and they are very tricky to build! well happy Modeling.👍🏻
Thanks my friend yep I definitely got it in the wrong spot - have learned for next time 😂😎
And thank you for watching 😎
Looks cool, another Aussie👍
Thanks for watching!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎 🇦🇺
Great build cool colors
Thanks so much, I installed the 5th wheel a bit far forward so have moved it back. Other than that really happy with how it came out!
Nice build. Great body color
Thanks mate! I was pretty lucky it really suits the truck hey
@Chickpea Hobbies I did one of these as a teenager in the 80s. Your video makes me a wanna try it again
Love it! I have a soft spot for Mack's. I've got two Cruiseliners to build.
They look great don’t they. I am keen to build another truck 😎 and hopefully I put the fifth wheel in the right spot next time 😎🤣
@Chickpea Hobbies my first glue together ANYTHING was the AMT Pete 359, in about 83. GLUE BOMB. The 5th wheel is minor. Looking forward to your next truck!
You did an awesome job on that. I like it. You inspire me to build a big truck.
Thanks so much 😁😁😁
Awesome job on the Mack,that’s one of my challenges,never build one before,but I’m going to.I like yours 👍🏻
Thanks mate!
I installed the fifth wheel too far forward 😖😂
@@ChickpeaHobbiesso I guess I don’t have to point that out now 😂
Truck came out great! Love that color too. Have a great day. -David
Thanks David for all the support :)
I need to build me a big rig! This looks awesome!
😎😎😎😎😎
I just wanted to mention the 5th wheel plate is slid way to far forward it should be centered above the rear axles. Because the way you have it you'll never be able to hook up to a trailer properly.
You are correct ! Live and learn I suppose 😬
@@ChickpeaHobbies Haha it's okay. It was bugging me so I just had to say something. All good though just keep learning along the way!
Keep up the good work.I have built 14 lots over the years and I'm into 1/14 scale remote control rigs and trailers. You want to try these as they are a lot of fun to build with there 3 speed transmissions and real sounds
Oh I’ve heard of those are they the Tamiya ones?
The real sounds would really add to the fun of running it, I bet.
Mack turned out great!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much I appreciate it! I moved the fifth wheel back a bit as I put it on too far forward. Thanks for watching :)
@@ChickpeaHobbies 👍
New sub here, that turned out great. Very nice job. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you ! 😎
What an awesome job sir I just found your channel and I subbed you very cool build
Thanks my friend I appreciate that! I will be uploading more builds soon 😎
just found your channel and subscribed.....awesome stuff
Thanks so much for the kind words! I will be uploading another build shortly, just waiting for the clear coat to dry 😁
Please, where do you sell such boxes for model aircraft, sir, can you direct me, thank you
Really beautiful rig man , sometimes a rattle can çan go down as perfect as the best pros do it , when you ser a real truck they really have a lot of blemishes etc , looks perfect to me! . Id like to hear your thoughts on the amt white freightliner , it's a tricky devil .
Thanks for the kind words !
I haven’t built the freightliner 🤔 do you recommend trying it?
The hardest bit with this one was I couldn’t fit the turbo under the cab without trimming.
Also I think I put the fifth wheel too far forward. Live and learn 😂
Id say give the freightliner a go , m r surfacer will fill the infamous seam very well, many rigs have cut outs for turbos if that doesn't bother you , the amt instructions are dodgy though , not very clear , good luck !
Overall well constructed, but it strikes me a bit too dull in appearance, sorry. The chrome grille is a must for big trucks like this. Owner-operators bought MORE chrome to dress up these trucks, not remove chrome. It may be the lighting, but use of black wash was too heavy, imo. There are lighter gray wash tones available that might've been better, but only if used in the grille-work, not left on the surrounding chrome or center bulldog circle. That's becoming my plan, after seeing your video. I've just purchased this kit, haven't decided on color yet. But I'm quite sure that it will carry bright-work very prominently. On the clear window install, it's becoming standard by builders to use Modge-Podge. It dries clear, and will not etch clear parts or wick into painted surface.
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate the feedback :)
I put the fifth wheel in the wrong spot too! Lesson learned
@@ChickpeaHobbies Fifth wheels slide, they are actually adjustable somewhat on heavy trucks, but yes yours might be a bit extreme. 😁
I feel slightly better now though 🤣
did that model myself ..use it for my pic now ..
Looks fantastic ! How did you go fitting the turbo intake under the cab, did you need to do any trimming ?
@@ChickpeaHobbies no ..but i had to modity it all to run the 2 intakes anyway ..
Nice job but you have the fifth wheel to far forward it should be between the back tires
Ah there you go, now I know 😎
I have added a caption at the start of the video to point out that it is too far forward, thanks again John.
Beatiful 👍🇨🇷👍🇨🇷 carros mj
Thank you for the kind words 😎
