1/72 RPM Mack AC

I've had this kit for quite some time and decided to build it while filler was drying on my Hasegawa B-47. I had some reservations about the kit's quality but much to my surprise it turned out to be well molded and very detailed. I would not be surprised if there were 90 parts used, with some left over for other versions to make the total parts count 102. One of the truck bed sides was short shot so I emailed RPM in Poland for another, in the meantime I shortened the part up to the next stake so I could keep going. It is pictured with a Revell 1/72 Camel I built in the 60's. Tamiya XF-56 was used for the WW I truck color. The Mack AC was called the Bulldog Mack by the British, possibly due to it's reliability and strength, associating it with the bulldog as the symbol of British character. The name stuck in postwar years and that is where the Bulldog hood ornament on all Mack trucks originated.
