B 61 MACK

had a brain storm with for the B61,here's what I came up with the back is off a old monograms Chicago pumper no-17,its 1/32 scale,it also came out as back draft,Oh its a mack,the cab will sit closer,its just a mock up now,

up date photo.

Cool, go with it, it looks good

Thank's Kane,it does look OK as a small pumper truck,just picked up more paint today going to paint the back half dark green the same as the cab,then will paint both light red which will give me a rich blood red colour for a fire engine.

moved up for autobuff.

this cab has been buggen me for some time its rough in places so I am cleaning it up and going to go with my first idea and build it as a pickup truck going to use parts from a 50 ford kit some will go on this some parts will go on the 48 coe once I get the ford kit out of layby that is.

like the colour on this one

had close look at a ford pickup a friend has one,can not use any parts on the B,back to the drawing board as they say.

Allen, I've given it some thought , seeing as you're struggling with concept idea's , I would propose purchacing the B61 of you ! This may clear your mind some. Just a thought, as I have had the dick'ns of a time trying to locate anyone who has one available for sale or just available full stop. Anyway I'll leave it with you. No pressure. cheer's John.

John you still can get a jaymar B61 for Andy at www.scaleautomobilia.com.au still thinking on this one she will be built up one day

Found a better idea for my B61,ya me know me change my mind faster then the weather

Allan, Thank's for the head's up on scaleautomobilia. I've tried Him a while back , but he didn't have any in stock. I called him personally today and he has ordered sum from Jaymar, and waiting for them to turn up. He'll let me know when it happen's. As for the flatbed B61, go for it that one is my pick of all your concept's to-date. Cheer's John. :

Found this cab again and have been sanding it back and cleaning it up still a lot to do going to paint it red-white once I am finished clean it up. Also found the some wheels for it from a die-cast truck.

Was talking to Silverfox about this one this morning on the phone, he said about time I finished it as I have been at it to long now.lol, one can not rush these things.lol

This thing has had more lives than a cat hehehe

Maybe this time ....     

At the risk of crating more confusion, I reckon single drive prime mover, 44 gallon drum hung on the side as a long range fuel tank and an old spread axle bogie flat top trailer,tarp the front half, drums or something on the back.  Trust me!

Deaf as, had thought of doing that but don't have the parts to do that, would have to buy more bits for it going to build my own chassis for it, still thinking on it what to do with it. Ya bazooka its has had more paint jobs the cat has lives,lol fingers crossed it will get built.

As this is a old jaymar cab as its not going to come up to a show room finish will be building it as a old wreck one with a lot of weathered paint on it. Got two nice resin ones That I will be building up one as a single drive the other will be twin drive. Now to get out flat paints and dry pastels for this one.

Put a bit of primer on cab to see were I need to clean up a bit more, got to de-chrome the rims.

Not a bad effort in 5 years Allan.   Looking good mate.        

Good to see this one moving along again Allan, good job.

Jezz DeeCee one can not rush these things    I did not think I been working on it for that long   Deaf as will be building this one as a old tray top work horse I have two better cabs two build up.

You know me be thinking again   Silverfox gave me a diecast tow bed got me thinking bit a work on it can make cool be tow truck. Think it may work.  

I like the tray top but the tow unit looks odd ? It looks cool but odd i duno what it is ?

Ya scummy I been looking and thinking on it too, Think that the wheel base would be to short for a tow truck, A tray top would look better, will have to make a new one as the one in the photo is a bit narrow for the B61. How wide sould the tray be same as the back of the cab or as wide as the front guards.
